The first aurora borealis photographed by me was appreciated in the 9th National Photo Contest “Poland is beautiful”, organized by the Mieczyslaw Wielomski Photography Association “Against Nothingness”. The photograph of the aurora borealis, which I took in the Upper Narew Valley, was among 67 photographs appreciated by the Jury and was awarded participation in the exhibition and post-competition album. The contest attracted 153 authors, who submitted a total of 760 works.
