Northern lights illuminate Ottawa area skies I took this photo by accident and thought it was really unique. I was out in my yard taking a photo of the northern lights and my daughter was backing her car into our driveway. The moment my shutter clicked she hit the brakes and this was the photo that I got out of it. That tree is a sugar maple and glows bright red/orange in the fall and was the only thing lit up in red. Definitely the best photo I got from tonight’s light show! (Kim Bourbonnais/CTV Viewer)
