Aurora Borealis Over Cedar Lake, Minneapolis Skyline

The Aurora Borealis is visible above Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The lights of the downtown Minneapolis skyline are reflected in the water. Cedar Lake is one of the city's Chain of Lakes, a system of lakes and parkland that provides a significant natural and recreational resource within the urban environment. The Chain of Lakes was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of Minneapolis's park system, designed to preserve natural areas and provide public access.
