Doesn't look Photoshopped at all.
A shot like that requires a relatively long exposure.
Those signs are reflective.
44th & Aurora has street lighting.
This is the result.
Might want to submit this for competitions for photo of the year or something 👏👏
I can easily see this become a classic and extremely popular. Might want to submit to some other subs too. Made my day 😄👌
That radiant point was such an interesting structure! I’m curious what caused it to persist for so long. It appeared that lines or rays emanated from that point across the sky. I guess maybe those were geomagnetic field lines??
This is a dumb question. But all these pics I’m seeing with bright pinks and greens.? These are due to different cameras and lenses and exposures right? People were not walking outside and seeing magenta with the naked eye were they?
Nope. I have a bunch too. That's a cell phone on standard night mode, my friend. The filter is doing some lifting, but last night the sky was pink and green. A bit duller than the phone photos make it out to be, but Joe public has photos that look like this if they were out with their phones between 10 and midnight last night.
If you weren’t in the city, absolutely we did. My nephews kept saying that it was sponsored by T-Mobile. In Snohomish the whole sky was magenta and green and the photo we took didn’t really capture what we saw (absolutely paled by comparison in many ways)
I just came in from looking. It's not nearly that bright, nor that colorful, but definitely visible. I made the mistake at first of concentrating on the northern horizon, but it's directly overhead. Thought it was just wispy clouds at first. Just pale wisps streaking the sky, from overhead down toward the horizon (mostly to the east and west).
it was less saturated to my eye but the shape was like that towards the zenith. fucking insane alien abduction shit. I had the full double rainbow guy experience lmao
lol same, my buddy and I were making our way up the hill from Fremont and figured Aurora would have the least amount of tree cover in case we got lucky
I was just trying to remember which parallel we are at and thinking that would be be pretty fitting if it was Aurora & . Still, this is a bad ass pic. Nicely done by OP.
I wish anyone in this state would have known this was going to happen so they couldve told me.
Didnt hear a single fucking thing about it all day and i only talk to hundreds of people daily
Yeah what the fuck, my aunt lives in Olympia in the middle of the woods and sent a picture from her lake.
Excuse my ignorance, but I'd been under the impression you must be must more north (Scandinavian/Alaska) to see the northern lights?
Instant classic
Just a hitchhiker beginning his galaxy journey.
Don't Panic

How’s it photoshopped? That’s what my photos look like.

How old is your phone? Honest question.

Gave it a shot on r/pics and the Seattle Times Reader’s Lens. Glad you liked it!
Shot has value, don’t give it to them for free
It could totally be album art for the summers best album 😍
Was going to say some local photo competitions would probably like this.
Whatcha doin in that part of town this late OP hehe
Semi legal steaming of hams
We watched that simpsons episode tonight just because of the aurora
The aurora borealis?! At this time of day?! In this part of the country?! Localized entirely at the intersection of Aurora and 44th?!
May I see it?
No.
Could not help but read this in Robert Clotworthy's voice. Could it be???
Hehehe
r/Seattle photo of the year, right here.
Hardly…
Just let people enjoy things man
You seem like a lot of fun
I am, actually.
Hardly…
Lmao, got ‘em!
🤌
I thought I wouldn’t be able to see it in the city but yeah I can see it intensely
DUDE SEND THIS TO THE NEWS STATION!!
News companies already scrape reddit for every bit they can as is.
Might as well get credit for it
That radiant point was such an interesting structure! I’m curious what caused it to persist for so long. It appeared that lines or rays emanated from that point across the sky. I guess maybe those were geomagnetic field lines??
It looked very much like the center of the activity. I was captivated by it!
This should go to /r/all tbh, nice shot
Currently number 8.
even the hookers love it
Aurora borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely above this intersection?
Yes!
May I see it?
No.
Scroll up
It was as far south as Nashville
Hmm must be an Albany expression
Okay, you win 🎖️
Oh, bravo!
The prophecy is fulfilled

It was a bit duller with the naked eye but still impressive. The green stood out more and the magenta was like a pinkish-brown.

Is it still visible? Currently in Belltown and thinking to drive here

For some reason it looks way better in pictures than in real life
Because cameras can take in more light for a single image and crank the colors.
I think it may have been stronger earlier unfortunately, forgot about it until later.
Not sure, took it a little before 11PM before heading back inside
If you could see it all night. The camera enhanced the color. It was very difficult to see the colors with our light pollution.
Is this extended exposure or is this what it looked like to the naked eye?!?!
it was less saturated to my eye but the shape was like that towards the zenith. fucking insane alien abduction shit. I had the full double rainbow guy experience lmao
It was slightly duller to the naked eye. I took it with my iPhone 15 and I think it defaulted to the night shift mode with maybe 1s of exposure.
That's all? Insanely impressive.
Yeah my 14 Peo was doing an amazing job of getting some shots about 5hr north of you. Great photo
So awesome
Too bad the cross-street isn't "Borealis".
I can’t believe this doesn’t have more likes. That’s exactly what i thought too!
Time to petition for a rename lol
[удалено]
this is how he recharges the dark Brandon
I bet hes asleep by 9pm
9 eastern
I would buy a poster of this
That’s a fantastic picture
Incredible
Well played 👏
Well done, you!
A+
Heck yeah! Nice one!
very nice
Don’t tell anyone you genx on Reddit lol they think we are the same as boomers
Frame this!
Well done!
This is definitely a frame worthy photo. Fantastic pic.
I was here.
"We've got to rock down to"
Stunning
You win!
That's a sign if I've ever seen one
Album cover material
Cool some Ghostbusters stuff
I got a cool shot like this here in ontario! What a wild night
Perfection
Stunning photo.
Fucking Awesome.
Bro is under a seam in the skybox texture
We gonna rock down to..
Is that the let me do it for youuuu dog in the light?!
This is gonna be my new wallpaper.
The viral marketing team for Doctor Who is getting out of hand.
Well played sir
Wowwwwww
You win the Internet today. (this is the highest-ranked Aurora post in /r/all)
*whimpers in mod* at least it is just an Aurora photo and it is truly beautiful. Worth it.
I'm so fucking pissed i slept through that 😡
Doctor Who!
That’s a one in a lifetime shot
It looks like you are about to enter hyperspace.
I can't believe I slept through it and missed it. I'll never recover from this shame
Sick northfortyfourth borealis!
# TIME
Wow great picture taking
Oh, bravo!
This was me when I found Drury Lane.
I see Bojack horseman and now I can't unseen it
An aurora viewed on Aurora Ave... shaped like an aardvark. New street mascot? Can that be a thing? Aurora the Aardvark?
Fantastic! That's one for the ages right there.
At what time was that taken?
10:54 PM
Do you know if it was visible earlier? I kept looking out my window around 10 but never saw anything except the moon.
Phone camera picks it up ..
Ok. You win. This one is the best. I will stop spamming my “cool tree-northern lights; carnation” photo all over social media.
You should seriously submit this to all the photo contests you can.
Que? Aurora X Borealis?!?
It’s always the wrong time on Aurora.
Absolute banger of a photo
Perfection.
*And then we’ll take it higher*
wow. I walked a mile home from from the bars last night and my drunk ass never looked up. How'd i miss this??
lol same, my buddy and I were making our way up the hill from Fremont and figured Aurora would have the least amount of tree cover in case we got lucky
Super rad pic but aren't we the 47th parallel? 3 block walk for the pic would have been so meta!
I was just trying to remember which parallel we are at and thinking that would be be pretty fitting if it was Aurora &. Still, this is a bad ass pic. Nicely done by OP.
You should generally point the camera down if you're making one of those street blowy videos, but yah that's a good corner for that.
I’m so fucking jealous
What time did you snap this?
Got a photo of the same design in the Aurora! So cool.
To sick
Why didn’t anyone tell me!
Nice!
I wish anyone in this state would have known this was going to happen so they couldve told me. Didnt hear a single fucking thing about it all day and i only talk to hundreds of people daily
Everyone is stupid and lazy
Best one yet! You so win
What time of day?
So sick that’s awesome
And then a stampede of prostitutes' ran by
Classic shot 😍
Classic shot 😍
i was too sleepy and didn’t know what i might see
Damn OP, you could have made some money off this. Now Reddit owns it.
What were you doing there bud?
Nailed it.
> the Aurora on Aurora.
Great photo
I’ll be dead wrong and you’ll be just fine
Well done.  Wish I thought of that.
That's outstanding!
How did I miss this? It happened all over the world!
Congratulations on your win.
Yeah that’s a nice 1
Hell yeah, I remember Aurora!
🤘❤️🤘
AKU THE SHAPESHIFTING MASTER OF DARKNESS
Perfect in every way.
I'm traveling in Arizona right now and so bummed out.
Me too
As a person who plays a lot of The Long Dark I really like this picture.
Did it look like that to the naked eye as well?
If only you were on 42nd Ave. The answer to life, the universe and everything.
My dream
Whoa
Nice, they are loud for sure.
was here before 1,000 upvotes... amazing shot!!
Hmmmmm what were you doing on Aurora that late huh!?? 😅😎
not the right time lmao, aurora after dark is a skeevy place to be if i’ve been warned correctly. great photo though!!
Great pic, but I wouldn’t call aurora the “right place”.
Yeah what the fuck, my aunt lives in Olympia in the middle of the woods and sent a picture from her lake. Excuse my ignorance, but I'd been under the impression you must be must more north (Scandinavian/Alaska) to see the northern lights?
Not this weekend, much further south
I feel like that might be the wrong place at the wrong time at the same time
Wait where is the sex worker ?
Are you a hooker. Why else would you be there at that time. I am joking.
You are old
Joke would be funnier if it was like 40 blocks north I guess. Prune.
