thats my family's hotel just to the right, with the flower pots. The queens hotel welcomes photographers of all levels, including my own lower division!
Over in the interior of Alaska, around Fairbanks, the Northern Lights are visible on clear nights from September through April. But as you can see in my photo, there is lots of daylight on the sky. In this location there is light at the foreground from the streetlights nearby, and also on the sky-at the right side of the photo-from streetlights. But it's usually very dark by 11:00 PM in September, through March.Last one in this set from me

The Northern Lights are something I long to see, your very lucky! I was thinking about taking a trip to Iceland to see them, but then their volcano started playing up, need to get round to organise something again...I think sept/oct/nov is the best time to see them there?
My first test shot from my new D700. I just went full-frame.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing that my photographic outings have been curtailed for a while. At least it is forcing me to do something with the photos that I have taken already (alas, it's a lot more fun to take them than it is to 'develop' them). So here's another photo newly culled from my archives...
It was just after lunch, DD. The colours come mostly from the lichen.
Old ones, new ones... they're all inspirational. But, yes, more fun to be 'out there', not faffing about on a computer. I'm really enjoying the springtime light here in Lakeland.

Foraging Northern Bat...
It was flitting about way too fast to get a sharp shot. I've never seen a bat foraging by daylight, I figure it must be just out of hibernation and was looking for food.

Interesting how the scene goes from B&W to color, top to bottom. What are those things sticking out bottom right corner ?
Great shot, love how all the elements balance and hold together, and as Rob pointed out fades from grayscale to colour. The lit house and field in the far foreground is great too, this one really illustrates the benefits of your philosophy of patience and timing.
Play Ball!!!! that time of the year again for some Little League Tee Ball...
