Forget the Fireworks

Forget the fireworks displays that took place today to see in the new year. The best display was saved for the early evening when a rather fantastic burst of the Northern Lights illuminated the Swansea skies. Thanks to a really excellent piece of kit Mrs E got from Santa, which she set up on the roof outside our attic window, we didn't even need to leave the house to be entertained with this appearance:

Here are a couple of pics of it from my phone camera too:

Thanks to Mrs  E's technical skills, we can even present this phantasmagorical timelapse of the whole display for your delectation. Happy New Year!

Another Epic Northern Light Display

Well, this was a real surprise - another Northern Lights with a very similar strength to last May's.
