Aurora borealis

In case anyone's interested, I just took this very poor quality
photograph of an aurora (yes, and a house).

Ooh, *nice*. How far North are you?

 

More north than I am, with less street lighting. (

You lucky sod. It's been raining here all night, but the amount of
lighting around here anyway would mean I'm unlikely to see it.

The house in the pic ads a bit to it, the only other pics I've seen of
the aurora have been a green cuirtany effect, this clearly is not.

You lucky sod.

Better view north than from my house...

You lucky bastards, I’ve always wanted to see the aurora and had sort of
resigned my self to going to norven scandy some where or other, but now
during the only time it’s visible for UK soil probably in my life I’m in
Hong Kong, I don’t think any amount of solar flaring will produce one
down here.

Still it’s a beautiful day, sun blue sky, no motorbike (yet) :-(

Where is it then? It must be a very dark aurora ;-)

You lucky sods, that one of the few things I know I want to achieve in
my life, to see the aurora borealis.

 

OE r0x0rs, eh?

 

Hmm. Looks like "Black cat in a coal cellar" from here.

 

Only if you're l33t

 

I'm heading off to scroteland tomorrow, I wonder if I'll be able to see it
from there.

I know. Looked more like a beer tent at a rock venue than a borealis.

 

Canary Wharf init?

I suppose it could be the front of Weatherspoons taken from the east
side of Cabot Square, but even so, you'd have to be up bloody high from
the ground to see it.

 

Nah. I think it's 1 Canada Square and the HSBC building.

The HSBC building hasn't got any green on it, it's also too close in the
photo to be anywhere near 1 Canada square as HSBC is number 8 and over
the other side of the road.

I am not the only one then. Thank **** for that, I was beginning to
worry I had missed something.

 

If you spent as much time being drunk as me, you get used to this kind
of thing. I may be wrong, but probably am right.
