Mammatus (Mamma), often associated with thunderstorms, are indicative of sinking cold air that's carried into warmer air layers and create the characteristic bumpy, rounded appearance, as seen here over Hovell's Creek, Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

Beautiful “Nordlys” as we call Northern Light in Norway. Many years ago I saw some spectacular Aurora Borealis. But that was before I had camera. In Northern Norway Aurora Borealis is much more common than in Western Norway, where I live. However I use to send calendars of the phenomenon to friends abroad.

Like Bryan, I fully concur with his comments. I have always held a long wish to see such a spectacle. No such luck yet!
On the BBC News Science page there are some really lovely photos of a rather rare Aurora Borealis seen over the southern parts of the UK. Needless to say, where I live in Yate (11 miles – 17.7 Km- NE of Bristol) we had cloud filled skies – as usual – so I could not witness this type of this wondrous event. Here is what I missed:-
