Apparantly I missed out on a nice show. Nothing spectacular, but I was half an hour too late. Anyways: I was one of the very few in NL who saw them because clouds were in the way. That is why I wasn't too late after all. At 21.15 there were clouds over here aswell.
Well..I was too late. Apparantly about an hour before we had a real nice display. |Corona's like on the fantastic pics over here are rare in NL. I saw them in 200 and 2003. In 2003, I eventually had to look to the south to see the aurora. It was somewhere above France I guess. Well, this one was on Dutch National Televison, also shot by me. A bit better but it pales to the what we saw in 2000-2005 period. But the next few years will bring the aurora's back. Other displays this year were augustus and may. In august, it was just the green band higher up in the sky. I like the greenband with read/purple above it much more. BUt htis one, from the same night...could be worse...
