This is Fox Creek schoolhouse out in central eastern Kansas. It’s located 5 1/2 hours from Washington Missouri about two hours from Kansas City probably about an hour from Topeka and an hour and a half from Wichita Kansas.=x_x11i5rnm x_xat24cr x_x1mh8g0r x_x1vvkbs x_xtlvy1s x_x126k92a=x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0Truth to be told, I wasn’t going to take the chance as I just didn’t feel motivated at first, but once I watched one of my favorite movies October Sky that truly gives me in a motivational mood I just did it just drove under the clouds got to this old school house at 6:30 PM set the camera up and by almost 7 o’clock. We had the aurora dancing on the horizon not once but three separate times.=x_x11i5rnm x_xat24cr x_x1mh8g0r x_x1vvkbs x_xtlvy1s x_x126k92a=x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0In my eyes, this is such a perfect little piece, an old-school House built in the 1800s the northern lights on the horizon in Kansas. Everything lined up perfectly for this shot and I’m absolutely in love with it.=x_ContentPasted0 =x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0The Photos were also featured in SpaceWeather.com this morning with a brief writes up.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
