Aurora Borealis

While waiting for new northern lights I scanned one of my numerous old slides to a digital form to make it visible for you, my photographic friends.

Thanks for your nice comments! So: now we only have to wait
for the next solar storms, sun spot maximums etc, and if we
are lucky, it's not cloudy two to three days after those
eruptions. In that case we would have good chances to take
nice pictures of northern lights. It would also be better
if it happened during new moon because full moon worsens contrasts. Let's hope the best.
Positive regards from district of Kainuu, Finland (not so far from the polar circle)

Köszönöm, Gabor! I visited Budapest in March 2009 and I What a wonderful lights. I like it a lot.
really liked it. It's quite a picturesque town with its
decorated buildings like the churches with their colourful
roof tiles and for example the agricultural museum which
resembles an old castle (but is made of waste material, or
how?) And of course the royal castle and Gellert spa in the
Pest side of Danube and the Parliament house etc...
