Patrick Ems: Dancing lights

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

There are no words to describe how I felt the first time I saw the magical polar lights dancing across the deep black night sky. Humbled and overwhelmed by emotion, I also felt honoured that the elusive hidden beauty had revealed.

”The sight filled the northern sky; the immensity of it was scarcely conceivable. As if from heaven itself, great curtains of delicate light hung and trembled. Pale green and rose-pink, and as transparent as the most fragile fabric, and at the bottom edge a profound fiery crimson like the fires of hell, they swung and shimmered loosely with more grace than the most skillful dancer.”
― Philip Pullman
