We were treated with a grandiose spectacle of the Northern Lights looking North over the Firth of Clyde. Around 9pm, a vibrant red aurora was clearly visible with the naked eye for around 20 minutes before fading away. An hour later, the aurora re-emerged, painting the entire Northern sky a vibrant green.
I am chuffed that my photo was spotted on Facebook by the Picture Editor of the Daily Mail and was published.
Last night was a first for me, seeing the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, for the first time with the naked eye in Scotland.
The Northern Lights were simply spectacular with their mixture of green, amber and red lights dancing through the sky between the South West and North West. Unfortunately there was a little bit too much cloud directly to the North.
I’m well pleased with these photos.
With an amber aurora alert in place, I went out late evening to capture the northern lights over the Firth of Clyde. Not the most impressive, but I managed to capture a faint aurora.
