I heard that there has been a massive outbreak of geomagnetic auroras, and this news makes my heart itch. Seeing the beautiful scenery captured by others, I am even more envious. Recalling yesterday, I should have made some preparations, but I was so happy to have photographed the first sunset of the century in Datong this year that I completely forgot about it and went to strip the skewers. I regret it now!
Someone said that there might be geomagnetic auroras tonight, and after a long time of hesitation, I finally decided to embark on the journey into the mountains. I have arrived at Baopingbao Great Wall in Tianzhen County, and this is my first time here. I was initially quite satisfied with choosing such a unique landscape.
I walked and admired the surrounding scenery, filled with anticipation in my heart. I wonder if I can see the geomagnetic aurora as I wish tonight?
I aimed my camera towards the northwest, which should be where the aurora appears. As time passed, the moon gradually set and the sky was pitch black all night without any surprising red or pink auroras. Disappointment left me feeling frustrated, so I had to make do with a photo of the star's orbit.
Looking at this photo of the star's orbit, my sense of loss became even stronger. I was originally hoping to capture the brilliant aurora, but I only got this mundane orbit. I sighed and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
I don't know how long it took, but a glimmer of light began to appear on the horizon, and a new day was about to come. I stood up, packed my bags, and prepared to leave this place that filled me with regret. Although I didn't see the aurora this time, I know that the path of exploration is always full of uncertainty. Perhaps next time, I will have better luck.
