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:-
