Hiya folks!!!! Last night we had another one of those "phenomenas" and this time i thought i would take a few shots for our beloved Kort, seeing how he asked for some earlier. Unfortunatly it was really windy and it was almost impossible getting my tripod to remain steadily anchored for a longer period of time. So most of the shots came out quite blurry. So i decided to rush up to the lake to see if the wind was calmer up there, and it was. But by the time i got there the light didnt shine as bright as it had done earlier. So this is probably the best one i got last night. Hopefully well have some more tonight as well. Weve had them the last nights so who knows. Quite common were i live, especially during winter so then im definitly gonna capture some good ones....i hope....bla bla....ooooh...back hurts....laying down now...just had to whine a little, lol....sigh. Have a wonderful saturday everyone!!!! Andreas 

Very cool, even if it wasn't as bright! You HAVE to take more! I don't get to see things like this either. You have the best sunsets/sunrises and mist I have ever seen....so yes, please....more of these.

Oh what an eerie green sky! Yes do take more of these tonight if you can! Brenda :)

Okay i shall do my best if they appear again. Ooooh, another emoticon-junkie!!! Let em rip Danielle, LOL.

Another one shot tonight, not as bright as i would have hoped but at least i managed to make a pano out of it. Maybe later it will be brighter.....

Yep..we have "norrsken" but not very often.....Jag visste att det inte va n fel pgumpen ;) There is a band from Halmstad..named "gamnackarna" if U got major probs...perhaps U can join the band :) The week workshop was extremly intensive :) So,,,when I came home late nights.....I crashed infront of the tellie...after 10 minuits......This weekend I have made one gig...photographed a Newmarried couple & painted 1/4 of my house......now I need a holliday :) SUH!!!!! PUSS!!!!

Well, it's just that this is a public forum so it's nice if we can all understand each other otherwise IM's are pretty cool! ;P If we all start speaking our mother tongues, there won't be much of a communication!! Just a thought huh! ;)

Under what language does this fall Pascale: BLA BLA BLA!!! Oooops....sorry for being cheeky, of course youre right!!! Or as we swedes would say: Naturligtvis har du rt! Jag ber smycket om urst. (im truly sorry)

U have absolutley right Pascale :) Thats why I tease the french people...eh not U :D..LOL!!!!...'cause I have no idea what they are saying.... Puss & kram

Sigh....talk about being obsessed with these emoticons...

Haha!! That's why I never speak French with the French people! I know how annoying it is for others, who do not speak the language! ;)

I don't speak french or swedish so I'm really in the dark! :( Pascale,I've never seen you do that,start speaking in here in french I mean.It's frustrating for those of us who don't understand and then feel we can't participate.So I appreciate that you are sensitive to that. Of course I could always use a translator... but we all know how reliable and successful those are! Hope you enjoy whats left of your Sunday guys!

Nope sweety! U didn't cos I never do it! Beside, I prefer to type in English, it's much easier for me! ;) And translators suck indeed!! their translations don't make any sense most of the time! LOL!!

I know!But you must admit they can be really funny,too!Mwah sweetie!

Yep Marlene, they can be funny. At least they give you a basic idea of what is being said. Wow Andreas! Thanks for posting this "for me". Hahaha, I didn't realize I was beloved. Feels nice. ;oP Those are some fabulous shots you got there really! I am quite impressed, even if they are not as bright as you hoped. We don't get them at all so this is great to me. Andreas, check out the link below and consider entering these. I think you'd have a good chance! 8o] Oops, just read the rules and you are not in the US so it doesn't apply. Sorry. But maybe someone else can give it a go.

Ooooh!!! I wanna enter that contest!!! Im on a roll, been "winning" or at least qualifying for the last 2 contests i entered, lol. If some sweet american feel like representing me just give me a holler.

If I would I could...not sure how to work that though...or how legal it is. ;oP

Wowww!! That is one Amazing pano Andreas! The water looks like a glass mirror and those colors are out of this world!!! Fantastic ... whew!!! I can't wait to see more! We are able to see a very mild version of these lights at certain times of the year if ...IF...the weather cooperates. Nothing as deep and rich as the color you have captured in your images above though. Beautiful! :-)

Maybe you can get some more shots??? =o] Space Weather News for Sept. 14, 2004 http://spaceweather.com Sunspot 798/808 flared twice more yesterday, and at least one of the X-class explosions propelled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of severe geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives--perhaps tonight, Sept. 14-15. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras. Observing tips: Although auroras are sometimes bright enough to shine through city lights, you'll see more from a dark-sky site in the countryside. The best time to look is usually during the hours around local midnight. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

Unfortunatly its raining pretty heavily here so i doubt that i will see any tonight. I will definitly bookmark that link though for later. Thanks!!!
