Northern Lights Over Santa Fe Harbor at Night

Vivid ribbons of green and purple aurora stretch across the deep indigo sky, their light trails shimmering with the slow movement of a long exposure. Below, a harbor near Santa Fe glows with the warm, steady orange of lanterns arranged along the water's edge. A wooden archway frames the view, creating a natural border that separates the terrestrial glow from the celestial display. The air appears clear and dry, allowing the faint atmospheric haze to soften the distant stars without obscuring the vibrant colors. The water reflects the lantern light in broken, shimmering streaks, while the cold stillness of early summer settles over the quiet docks. One lantern flickers softly against the dark wood of the arch.
