I saw this event from a farm between Hammond and Baldwin Wisconsin. What a night that was! My wife, who I wasn't to meet until about a year later, saw it from Decorah, Iowa. Nice to see these pictures.

Are you the same Stan Richard that played keyboard in a band named Ecstasy???

Saw a great show tonight (12/14/06) driving on hgwy 151 from Dubuque to the west.
Then saw a shooting star by Cedar Rapids the same night. Your photos are great!

Very well captured images! Nicely done. We don't get them very often where we are on Long Island, NY. Cheers.

Great stuff! Love the reflections and dead trees/stumps/branches. Very moody and different.

Cheers!

Gorgeous photos! They look quite similar to the display here on Long Island, NY.

The reflection shot is spectacular!! Thanks for sharing these.

These photos are amazing!! I love them. I'm a photography student and I am learning how to take these kind of photos. I also love them because in quite a few of them I can see the towers around my hometown of Alleman. Beautiful pictures of the Northern Lights!!
Pete Paquette 09-Nov-2004 15:03
Hey Stan! The only Northern Lights we get here are the tailights on a snowbirds car!
Thanks for the beautiful images from home. I miss it.

Congrats Stan !

These are great pictures ! I find very funny the one with the duck in the lake ... if you look at his right , it seem to have a crocodile watching him ;))

Good luck for the next one , maybe tonight !?

Clear skies !
