To me this photo made me think that the aurora left the sky and came down to mingle in the forest. During a 2024 Nat. Hab. Photo trip to see the northern lights we took long exposures at night in the very cold environment. With the camera and tripod acclimated to the outside temperature it was sometimes difficult to adjust everything with you heavy gloves. Evidentially the camera tripod let the camera droop during the exposure letting loose the fire into the trees.
