Northern Lights

Lovely photos mickysf thanks for the link share.  Also fantastic tip about Whitby too.

Didn't see them here in Edinburgh but think too much lighting for a good view.  However we're off on a cruise around northern Norway in February with the specific intention of seeing the aurora borealis.   A present to ourselves for our silver wedding. 

Happy wedding anniversary when it comes Moonstone, I hope you're lucky and see the lights.  Wanted to do the Northern Lights ourselves for our silver wedding anniversary 11 years ago but for health reason OH can't go where it's cold so we weren't able to.  I have caught glimpses of them down here in Essex and one of these years we are going to be able to get away up to northern Scotland when the opportunity arises

Thanks for sharing, wish i had seen the heads up.

Another great tip re Whitby, it is only 20 miles from me and north will be out to sea. Trouble for me is, I get the light polution of Scarborough to my north, from home.

Only ever seen the the lights through glass...  But it was from the flight deck of a Boeing 767 over northern Canada. Long story.

Just had an aurora alert, it's building nicely so if you have clear skies it might be worth a peep!

I got that too - no chance here though as too much light pollution 

Thanks for the link to the Whitby photos, no chance of seeing aurora, like moonstone too much light pollution in our neck of the woods

Two days till we sail to Norway - can't wait.   The chances of seeing the Northern Lights seem to be reasonably ok - keep your fingers crossed!

Wrap up well and have a good time, let us know what the trip was like!
