GLEN HAVEN, MI -- A Traverse City photographer's timelapse video offers a glimpse of the northern lights for those who missed the Monday night show.

Heather Higham's 30-second video shot at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore opens with dark storm clouds moving across a sky with hues of blue, purple and green. The video continues with the moonset and ends with colorful lights dancing over the water.

Higham, who owns Snap Happy Gal Photography, ventured out to overlooks along Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in Glen Haven about 11 p.m. Monday, June 22. Traces of green light first caught her eye. The Aurora borealis kicked into high gear by about 11:30 p.m., she said.

The light show was still going when she left the park about 1:30 a.m.

Higham was among the many photographers who sacrificed sleep to catch shots of the bright colors across the sky.

Higham and her husband are originally from Ohio and have lived in Georgia. She said they were drawn to Northern Michigan's natural beauty and the many opportunities to explore the outdoors.

She's been photographing the night skies for about two years.

"I just love being outside and letting the scenery capture my imagination," Higham said in an email.

Tuesday night is expected to be another prime time for viewing the northern lights in Michigan.
