After some years in australia this is a awsome sight at midnight
Who else is up north?

I'm guessing he is up far north (Norway is high up right?). It is midnight where he is, and from the picture (though not the greatest quality) you can see it is still bright as day.

In most of the rest of the world, it is dark at midnight.

Exactly, but after half a bottle of scotch last night my little mind thought that the image spoke for itself

well, my half-bottle of vodka didn't allow that image to come into focus.

thanks for the explanation.

Well, I've had half a bucket of coffee and that picture looks like the sky is being torn asunder and Armageddon is upon us.

here is a photo i took of the northern lights in my backyard.
not a good show (just a red glow), but you have to realize that i am at the same latitude as morroco, tunisia, and libya.



i would wager that photos of the northern lights with palm trees in the foreground are pretty rare...
