Northern lights

Gutted at this, thick fog here and can't see a thing, was hoping for a display but not meant to be.
 
Saw them once back in 1998 when I was still in the RN. It was January and we were just inside the arctic circle at the time after a visit to Bodo in Norway. Better than any firework display if you ever get to see them.
 
My new house gets views occasionally but usually too engrossed by the stars! Dark skies areas are worth a visit - there really are a shed load of stars up there and seeing the Milky Way is something else!
 
I always wake up to the news saying how they were out the previous night. A bit of warning the night before would be nice. Normally we can get to see them over this side but I believe last night was one for the west of the country. Too cloudy up here.
