Northern Lights over our village two nights ago - so beautiful.

Beautiful!
Seeing the northern lights is on my bucket list, along with seeing red squirrels. A trip to Scotland must be on the cards😊

They were visible as far south as Dorset the other night.

Last time, a few weeks ago, we went out to look for them, drove miles but didn't see them.

How lucky to see them. Katek and Aveline!

My sons and DH went hunting for a week mid-October, and had a brilliant night sitting in the woods with a fire and by a lake, with the sky dancing green overhead. My son took some photos and he's sent one that is lovely.

I've seen them once or twice, but never that brilliant. When I saw them it was more misty white and green.

Beautiful picture, and beautiful area, you're so lucky 😃

Too many typos! On not in and lucky not lucking! Fat fingers. Och.

We saw the Northern lights in an Arctic cruise in March. It was hard to photograph them. They were moving all the time, swirling about. Very different from the green sky seen in Aberdeenshire. I know katek has seen these pics but I thought others might like to see them. We felt very lucking. It was a breathtaking experience.
PS just snapped in my phone camera.

Completely visible to the naked eye Maybee-all over Aberdeenshire.

Was that seen via a phone or was it visible if just looking? So many aurora pictures turn out to be using a camera with a long exposure.

Beautiful photo, we love that area,Cullen,Portsoy etc. You are very lucky.

Looks beautiful Katek

Theexwife Wed 08-Nov-23 16:07:35

The whole area is stunning.

Katek Wed 08-Nov-23 16:05:00

Yes, am in North Aberdeenshire, not Collieston exwife, but further north!
There is a village Ali08, honestly! Couple of pics as proof! 😀

Have it made into a canvas?

Oreo Wed 08-Nov-23 12:28:34

Just lovely😍
Are you in the North somewhere?

Theexwife Wed 08-Nov-23 11:48:59

I assume you live in Colliestone, I am so envious.

Bellanonna Wed 08-Nov-23 11:03:27

Gosh, how lovely and how lucky you were!

ExDancer Wed 08-Nov-23 10:33:59

That's obviously a ruined castle, where abouts is it?

Ziplok Wed 08-Nov-23 10:32:34

Stunning.

BigBertha1 Wed 08-Nov-23 10:23:01

How lovely to see this from you own home.

dogsmother Wed 08-Nov-23 09:29:44

How lovely.

Ali08 Wed 08-Nov-23 04:36:30

Katek That is beautiful, thank you for showing us.
Though, I have to say, your village looks a bit empty! 😆

Esmay Wed 08-Nov-23 03:53:22

How beautiful !
Thank you for sharing it .
I'd make nice landscape in mixed media from the photograph .

Gorgeous. Are they moving further down, do you think? When we lived in Tasmania we used to get the Southern Lights and I didn’t realise what they were at first.

henetha Tue 07-Nov-23 23:32:42

Absolutely brilliant. What a great photo.

crazyH Tue 07-Nov-23 23:06:52
