Aurora on canvas by

Taken in January 2005, just south of Perth, Scotland. I looked out the window here late one evening to see a “cloud” of luminous green oriented downwards – “that’s no cloud!” and 5mins later I was a couple of miles away in the middle of nowhere on the road south of Moncrieffe Hill, admiring the pretty greens and reds :)

    Beautiful!! I didn’t know you could see them from Scotland… did you add the stars or were you clever enough to get them when you took the photo?
