There was some crazy orange sodium-like light around this red screech owl last night, who has been putting on quite a show after dark.

These are incredible. This one is my favourite, what a fantastic moment!

Some of these guys get so much saturation and depth it's amazing. It almost looks 3D.

Yeah there’s some split depth effect from the branches that really add to the picture, I love it so much. Might be Lock Screen material!

Oooo... I don't think I've had anyone pick one of my finds as a lock screen yet!

A sodium-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm. They are often red or orange

Indeed!

There's a Technology Connections about high pressure sodium lamps for those that haven't seen it.
