Depends. It can be as faint as a grey smudge or very very bright. Before this solar storm, I used to think the faded green was as good as it gets. Then I had a week of lights so bright and so fast moving you could easily film them with a phone. For the most part, they are quite faint. In the picture they weren’t too bright, but this is also relatively far south for aurora.

Nikon D850, 24-50 sigma, and about 1 sec exposure.

I actually highly disagree with this. In many natural areas, the concentration of hikers on one line has created a path that may never heal, even in centuries. However, when people spread out and make little individual impact, the effect is negligible as plant life is meant to support the weight of wildlife.

The only time people ever complain about going off path damaging the landscape is when people create another path.

I think I’m the only person in the state that’s happy when they clean it 😂

That honestly applies to everything in WA

D850, Sigma 35, and manfrotto tripod

Nahhh

Iceland is close but doesn’t have the rainforests

Panther Creek

Nothing new, especially for Seattle.

At this point being the dinosaurs and dodos back. Same logic
