Simply stunning and very dramatic shot here Well done Spotomy Regards Tess

Humble bow to you, Tess.

Great captured.

o0o I always dreamed of seeing this spectacle ... having been told about
it by my Father when he was in Greenland ... and then by chance one night
on the return home this spectacle was seen in the sky ... but it was a lovely
pinky peachy colour and looked like material, like curtains moving across
the sky ... I did not have a camera ... no mobile phones in those days ...
but it is etched in my memory .. especially because living in the middle
of England ... we just do not see this ... but next day it was reported ...
a rare sighting of the lights ... and YEAH ..I saw them ... ;-) and so for me
and many they are such a wonderful sight to see for real ... as indeed
it is great to see yours here ... ;-) o0o

Thanks Bev. They indeed look like curtains, even though they don't move in waves like curtains do!

strange ... the ones we saw did actually move like curtains ... ;-)

Weird. My recollection of them was that they moved like curtains, and when these didn't, but sort of zoomed or flickered from place to place, I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps there are different kinds of aurora, like the dancer and the band. :-)

different areas maybe make them different ... I don't know ... but once in Alaska I saw
them six in the morning ... they were static and a shining bright kind of light ... and so
it seems they are different depending where you are viewing and the atmospherics
at the time ... but such a wonderful sight ... your green is beautiful !

Wow, a gigantic corona!
That must have been the solar storm in the night of 17./18.03. which I saw south of Rørvik. We had the same colours after midnight, even without city lights the green was whitish.
At that time the auroras started flickering so fast you could hardly follow with your eyes.

Yes, this was the same storm and exactly the same time you are describing. They were flickering here as well, but because my previous experiences with auroras date back to my boyhood, I really cannot judge how unusual their behaviour – or indeed colour – was. But so remarkable they were that I laughed out loud at their dance quite a few times.

I've been to Norway a few times in the last years and these were the craziest auroras I have ever seen! A fellow traveller called them disco lights;-) Usually they move much slower.

Interesting! I was kind of disappointed that even though they had this normal curtain-like look, they didn't move in waves like curtains do at all. I thought ok, maybe I remember it all wrong, but then someone mentioned here that normally they do move like curtains.
