Description

On the evening of May 12, 2024, Fair Haven Beach State Park became a theater for nature's most dazzling performance: the Aurora Borealis. As twilight surrendered to darkness, the night sky erupted in a symphony of colors. Ribbons of green, pink, and purple danced gracefully overhead, reflecting off the tranquil waters of Lake Ontario. Visitors gathered along the shoreline, spellbound by the celestial spectacle unfolding before them. Cameras clicked incessantly, capturing fleeting moments of cosmic beauty. For hours, the Northern Lights painted the sky with their ethereal brushstrokes, weaving a tapestry of wonder that left onlookers breathless. As the Aurora gradually faded into the night, a sense of reverence lingered in the air, reminding all who witnessed it of the boundless majesty of the natural world.

In this image we are looking down what is known as the swim channel, with a wooden and metal footbridge that crosses from one beach to another reflecting in the channel waters. Beyond the bridge, out over Lake Ontario nature lights up the sky with the Northern Lights captivating the numerous on-lookers who came to witness, possibly, a once in a lifetime event.
