After walking the streets of Amarillo, Texas my Californian friend and I stumbled into an antique-hip store. Everything was either made by an artist of some sort or junk someone had bought. Well tucked away in a corner with missing pieces, truly damaged and duct taped and scotched taped together barely holding together it's own art form we found a tuba. It was priced $10 and for a musician, much like himself, that's a great deal for a mantel piece and a resemblance of his journey to Texas...

I am in the Army and stationed at FT Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska. I just recently purchased a NIKON D5100 and this was my first time taking pics of the Northern Lights and took about a 100 or so photos in -35 degree temps adjusting settings to get everything correct. The exposure was set at 20 seconds and just shortly after snapping the pic a car came around the corner and I thought it was going to ruin the pic. When I got home I was extremely happy with the way it turned out. I captured a lot of good pics this night and can't wait for the Aurora to come out again so I can experiment some more. The picture was taken on 1 December 2012 at about 11:55 pm just north of North Pole, AK. I was not sure if I should choose Nature or Artistic/Creative. I went with Nature because the shows that the Northern Lights put on are just amazing, and I am so happy that my wife and I get to experience all the nature that Alaska has to offer.
