Vibrant Aurora Borealis

From a wide-angle lens perspective, a vibrant aurora borealis or australis bathes the scene in dancing green and pink lights, establishing a cool color temperature with underlighting dramatic uplight and high-key bright and even lighting that illuminates a low-contrast composition with soft subtle tones rendered with geometric patterns and symbolic iconography, featuring two distinct steam locomotives: the first, a mid-19th-century Victorian ornate engine in deep maroon red passenger livery displaying its tall stovepipe stack, ornate brass domes, and a large kerosene box headlight, stands in contrast to a mid-20th-century streamlined counterpart in bright blue express livery, which is characterized by its streamlined casing stack, visible Walschaerts valve gear, and a large capacity centipede tender.
