- First time in Gowganda was 1968 with the Dept. of Lands and Forests, doing a soil and vegetation study for the Wildlife Productivity Inventory. While here found the country amazing, the boreal forest the lakes at every turn and the air clean and fresh. It didn't take long back then to get the camera out and start recording some of the sights I'd seen. Since then with a few layoffs in photography its good to get right back at it. Putting your pictures on a blog like this forces you to go out and take more pics, which is the goal of this site. For more on GOWGANDA check out (((www.gowganda.net)))

Great picture. Thank you Bill.
Curious...is it that light out that time of the night at this point in the year or is the light I see from your camera?
The stars always amaze me up there! Where I live there is too much outside light to see that many. I always want to stay up and try to see the Northern Lights when I'm up visiting, but I'm usually too tired. Is there any particular time of the night that one might see the Northern Lights?
Karen,
Because the camera's shutter is open for more than 15 seconds or more any light will show in the picture, in this case lite was coming from behind me probably the lite at the store. That's the lite on the trees.
Regarding the Northern Lites I check a site (http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast). If the forecast is 4 or more and the blast from the sun is in the right direction you may get to see them once in awhile. Some days just after dark or later but you have to be in an area where it is really dark. If the rating is below 4 chances are they don't even reach this far south.
