With much of the power still out, I was able to get pictures of the aurora over Foundy Street in Asheville's River Arts District, where my exhibition space was before the storm. This photo carries an eerie blend of emptiness and hope, evoking the dark, strange nights that followed the storm. But it reminds me that the darkness makes us recognize the light.

Title A name given to the resource Call It a Grief Ritual Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tim Reaves Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource October 10, 2024 Description An account of the resource I tried to drive to a high elevation spot near the Blue Ridge Parkway to photograph the aurora, but it seems every way is blocked by a landslide that hasn't been cleaned up yet. I went back to the River Arts District in Asheville, hoping I might get lucky and find the northern lights faintly illuminating the desolation of my former gallery. I guess the power outages have a silver lining, because I was surprised at how much color I was able to see with the naked eye even near the middle of the city. I've never attempted an urban nightscape before. I always thought "the dark, sacred night" could be found only in the deep hollers and hills, where fireflies light paths to wildflower fields under the faint glow of the Milky Way. It was my love of night things that drove me to become a photographer in the first place, and it's what earned me a spot at Foundation Studios. I suppose it's fitting to ply my craft as a way of saying goodbye to this lovely little spot by the river.
