Impuls, ET22 & Aurora Borealis - a photo on Flickriver

            The recent auroral activity was absolutely striking, recording the highest levels in the 21st century. As a result of that, a big chunk of Europe could see the northern lights, which made for some awesome photo opportunities, without the need to travel very far north.

I had to follow along and do what everybody else did. And so, on the nights between Friday the 10th and Monday on the 13th I set out on three trips with my family members, all with the purpose of photographing aurora with a train.

The first night had the strongest activity, however due to cloud coverage, barely anything could be seen. Additionally, I chose the wrong lens for this kind of task.

So this here is a picture from the second, weaker day. A PKP Cargo ET22 heads a sounthbound tanker train, as a Newag Impuls running from Warsaw to Nasielsk is passing it in the opposite direction.
