Milky Way over the old cow barn.

I did a version of this three years ago, but I accidentally set the exposure to 30 seconds and my stars were oblong. I’ve wanted to do a re-shoot ever since. I have a better camera and a better lens now, and three more years of experience. It was misty and there was some light pollution reflecting off the low clouds, but I’m still pleased with how this one turned out.

That light in the windows? That was my husband standing in the barn, flashing his phone light for a few seconds when I yelled across the barnyard. 👏

Stunning view of the Milky Way from the Lake of the Clouds overlook in the Porcupine Mountains. The rocks were still warm from the summer sun, and my 11 year old and I star gazed for an hour or so, spotting shooting stars from the Perseids meteor shower, discussing mountain lions and other nighttime scaries, and marveling at how brightly the Milky Way can shine under very dark skies. I worry about the effect the new mines will have on the pristine darkness of this park.

Someone bought a print this weekend! This dreamy nightscape of the moon rising over the Minnesota North Shore is one of my two most popular prints so far. I hope whoever bought it loves it!

If you're an Oak Park, IL local, I'll be updating my inventory at Mary Anne Mohanraj's Serendib House Studio later this week. I have matted 5x7 and 8x12 fine art prints currently available, and I'll have a 11x17 metal print of this image available soon!

If you're not local and you're interested a print of one of my images, you can contact me at [email protected].

Oh my goodness. A sad night to be socked in by clouds and storms! If you have clear skies, aurora is out in most of the Great Lakes region, and mid to northern latitudes.

My first night in Norway was something special. This was taken just an hour or two after landing in Tromso. I remember shouting and laughing as I saw the images on my LCD screen and telling my friend "This is my DREAM!" :)

March 2024. Tromso, Norway.

I am one of those people who gets excited every single time I catch the aurora. Even the faintest glow on the camera is thrilling to me. I captured this little arc in the Keweenaw on a night with a bright moon, making it invisible to the naked eye, but it showed on camera. I also caught a shooting star that night, directly under the Big Dipper. That green light out on the Lake, I'm sure is familiar to some people... does anyone know where I was that night? ;)

September 12, 2025. Keweenaw Peninsula, MI.
