Photography show opens

Photographer Carla Goldschmidt’s aurora captures are now on display in Cloquet’s West End at Common Ground Coffee Bar & Deli.

Goldschmidt moved to Carlton County in 2000, when her husband was called to minister. On a fall evening three years later, she was surprised and amazed to see northern lights. In April 2008, she saw photographs of the aurora that a friend had taken, and she was hooked.

“You can photograph the aurora? That had never occurred to me,” she said. “I bought a better camera and joined two aurora hunter groups on Facebook.”

There will be an artist reception at 6 p.m. Friday, March 5, for those who would like to meet and talk to Goldschmidt. Drop by the shop at 103 Avenue C during open hours the next few weeks to enjoy the nature photography.
