Aurora Waves Over Frozen Lake Before Dawn

by Gloria Gross

Emerald and violet ribbons ripple across the dark sky above a sheet of ice covering a lake near Commercial Drive in Vancouver. The frozen surface reflects faint moonlight, broken by low-hanging clouds that drift through a thin atmospheric haze. Early spring thaw is evident in the wet, slushy edges where the ice meets the muddy shore. Bare branches of coastal evergreens stand silhouetted against the glowing horizon, their needles dusted with frost. The ice shows deep cracks and subtle textures from the freeze, while the aurora forms soft, undulating waves that stretch horizontally. One patch of open water near the bank mirrors the sky, showing the green light in a still, glassy pool.
