These Images Of Maine's Nightime Lightshows Will Take Your Breath Away
Jeremy Gray took to nature photography a few years ago. He creates emotionally powerful images through his emphasis on light and tone, like in this breath taking image, “A Colorful Night”, which he took along the banks of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park capturing the bright band of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Mesmerizing star trails paint the night sky along the frozen, snow-blanketed banks of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park in this image Gray dubbed “Celestial Winter". Star trails are particularly challenging to produce but the result makes it all worthwhile, which Gray says.
A colorful aurora illuminates the horizon while stars dot the night sky. A calm pond located west of Baxter State Park, reflects the night sky and the trees and hills, which separate Earth from sky in this image “Abol Bridge Aurora”.
Taken in a similar location to “A Colorful Night” on Park Loop Road in Acadia National Park, “Night’s Glow" coalesces Earth with the cosmos. The Milky Way Galaxy’s band meets a foggy, grey-blue mist along the lake’s rocky coastline.
If you look closely, you can spot pillars of purple aurora shooting from the green-lit horizon and breaching the starry background in this image “Pillars”, which Gray shot west of Baxter State Park.
A stunning aurora reaches for the stars in Gray’s “Dancing Lights”. The rocky shoreline of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park directs the eye straight to this spectacular spectacle of green, yellow, purple, and pink.
In “Spinning Aurora", Gray combines an image of one of Maine’s brilliant aurora light shows with an image of a star trail centered around the north star, Polaris. He shot both images along a coastline west of Baxter State Park and the result is a gorgeous compilation of color and the cosmos.
With an image like this, it’s easy to understand why our ancient ancestors were so enamored with the cosmos. In “Southern Sky”, a misty, stone-lined pond in Acadia National Park sits against a mesmerizing backdrop of stellar brilliance.
"It is my goal to craft fine art images that capture the natural beauty of my home state of Maine," Gray told Business Insider. “Moonlight” does just that in this beautifully textured photo of Maine’s renowned rocky coastline, rolling mountains and dense forests along Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park.
