Fireflies and Aurora Over Alberta Creek at Night in beside a lantern-dotted harbor in Alberta

Fireflies and Aurora Over Alberta Creek at Night

by Arturo Truong

Steady rain falls in fine vertical streaks across a dark creek bank in Alberta, where fireflies pulse in rhythmic synchrony along the water's edge. Above, a faint auroral glow washes the deepest night sky in pale greens and violets. Lanterns dot the nearby harbor, casting warm amber reflections on the wet stones. The insects emit soft, intermittent light that contrasts with the cool celestial hues. Raindrops bead on the dark foliage, while the water ripples gently under the combined illumination of the lights and the pulsing insects. One firefly rests on a wet fern frond near the foreground.
