You’ve Brought them Back with You !

 

Having gone all the way to Finland and back to see the Northern Lights, I thought I would be able to settle down and rest – No chance !

Everyone I met told me about the great displays of the ‘Northern 'lights’ being seen across the North of England and Scotland – I could have been there – well, I was ,only above them !

and

finally the last straw when I saw this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16681732 so decided to go up to my favourite , well nearest, dark sky location Mam Tor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mam_Tor – to see if I could see them over Derbyshire !

I got up there shortly after 10 p.m., on a fairly cool and breezy evening, not nearly as cold as Finland, but windier !

I was soon rewarded with several sightings of the unusual sky formations that I had seen in Finland and Sweden, I wouldn’t have realised had I not seen them the week before ! The ‘remnants’ of the Northern Lights were above Derbyshire, and I could work my camera better, so managed to get some pictures, although still not brilliant

still I have to keep trying, don’t I ?

 

 

and, eventually around 1 .a.m. the clouds rolled in and over..and Jotown was able to return to a comfy bed..
