Den,

 

Thanks for bringing this website to my/our attention.

 

Sadly I never witnessed the Northern Lights in the flesh. but these images give me a greater sense of anticipation for when I get to see the real thing!

 

Thanks again,

 

Colin

Great site Den, apart from the lights my favourite part has to be the Autumn colours part, great photos..

I have a friend who is a lecturor and he spent a couple of years in Washington..I was invited over, but was warned that I probably wouldn't want to come home,

I think they've had an overload of viewers as I am unable to view most of the images.

The Northern lights are incredible though. Managed to see them once in Finland, also rode a snow bike (James Bond style) over a frozen lake and ate Reindeer. What a trip

Was that whilst cycling

 

I had hoped that I'd catch site of the aurora from mine, but I musn't be far enough north, I walk the dog every evening but as yet have not seen it. Maybe Nick is far enough North?

seen them a few times, but never a spectacular show, nothing like shown on that site

 

No problem seeing them from where you are Phil.

 

http://www.dcs.lancs.ac.uk/iono/aurorawatch/ gives lots of good info and allows you to sign up for email of warnings of when good auroras are likely to be seen.

cheers nick, it may be that the hills are in the way, I'll have to walk up to the wall when the next ones are due.

 

see plenty of shooting stars. which is fantastic, I always feel I've had a special treat when I see one, as I'm probably the only person who has noticed it.

Unbelievable representation of nature at it's best. I've always been a fan or the Northern Light but have never seen in person. Am in hopes of correcting that some day. As to the trees in the photos, they would explain why I picked trees as the next photo challenge topic.
