It’s 11th May 2024. I’m in the UK. Your feed is probably full of UK people posting a million pictures they took of the Northern Lights last night. I’m going to add mine, because honestly, it was AMAZING! Hats off to Sam who reminded me to go out and look up. Without him I wouldn’t have realised that the lights would be visible this far south. For reference, I’m on 51.89° North.

All images were taken with my Pixel 6 Pro, freehand, night sight, usually 5 or 6 second exposure.

Enjoy the images!

Suburb at night with Northern Lights above as purple streaks in front of stars. — Taken from the middle of a field in a park. I tried to be as far from other lights as possible.

Night sky only with the Big Dipper in the middle with purple Northern Lights. — Taken from the middle of a park. I love the Big Dipper here.
