Taking Aurora shots is always a combination of luck, patience, perseverance, thoughtful planning and strong will power. It took several days of waiting in the -25 degrees of freezing cold and hundreds of failed attempt. After vehemently hunting for days, Aurora shone upon me in the night sky as the guiding light, telling me the wait is over and it was worth every minute spent. The time stopped and so did my breathing. It was a dream come true!
