Behold: a rather beautiful visual coincidence: the dark branches of a tree and the light of a distant aurora. To wit:
The beauty of the aurora — combined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearby — mesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures. When viewed at the right angle, it seemed that this tree had aurora for leaves. Fortunately, before the aurora morphed into a different overall shape, he came to his senses and capture the awe-inspiring momentary coincidence. Typically triggered by solar explosions, aurora are caused by high energy electrons impacting the Earth’s atmosphere around 150 kilometers up. The unusual Earth-sky collaboration was witnessed in March of 2017 in Iceland.

Cool story, bro.
We just don’t have the technological know-how to create that digitally.
BTW, there’s no such thing as a coincidence.
Harry’s colour enhanced photos, anyone?
