Sky Dancing Over the Tide

This was one of the rare big aurora nights in Wellington. From the rocks at Taputeranga, the light flew in from the universe and danced above the sea. A long exposure smooths the waves so the coastline stays calm while the sky shifts in pink and green bands. I stood between two tides: the water moving at my feet and a slower, silent tide of light passing overhead. The scene felt quiet, yet every part of it carried motion.
