A 12-section panorama of the night sky at the Reesor Lake picnic area, in the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, taken July 13/14, 2013. A display of Northern Lights illuminates the northern sky above the hills. The lake is covered with a mist, as a foreground to the Milky Way in the south. Each segment was a 30-second untracked exposure at f/2 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200. Dark frames subtracted.
