Northern Lights

Well, what a treat as last night we saw the Northern Lights from the front garden. I was already in bed when a daughter phoned and said that she had seen on the local facebook site that we should be able to see the lights from the barns. Quickly pulling on some jeans, coat, hat and wellies I was outside looking north. It wasn’t desperately spectacular but you could certainly see a pink/purple glow in the sky, but it was the photo’s we took which really highlighted it for us. Even just using a camera phone and no tripod we were able to capture some pretty impressive views. We were a bit hampered by the light pollution caused by our outside lights coming on from the sensors sensing all the movement but we were happy. I messaged our guests in the holiday cottage and they came out too. Sad to say, but I can’t arrange this for all our guests :)
