Turned out lovely once the rain stopped! 

 

 

 

A few from this evening, including a fluffy Robin 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

More wildlife at the local reservoir...... 

 

 

 

 

 

Glorious again this evening, although rain tomorrow 😬

 

 

 

Spotted this on the Teversal Trail - should be preserved for posterity!

A few from this evenings walk............

 

 

 

 

Another glorious evening 😎

 

 

Trip to Beamish. Took the R3 and a 24-105 lens. A bit overkill for sightseeing tbh. Went a bit mad with the processing.

I'm a rubbish photographer but anyone still up really ought to go outside and look up!  This is the Aurora Borealis from my house in Eastbourne, happening right now:

Me too gaz in yorkshire

Mrs Gaz has gone to bed, but I’m buzzing.  I can hardly believe what I’m seeing!! Those pics are just from my iPhone 😎

You are so bloody lucky...   My daughter has had a great view from Lancaster but we e got too much light pollution where we are and I've had too much to drink to drive somewhere dark!

We tried from here on t'Wirral but we're on the Dee side and partway downhill from the sandstone ridge - hence no decent view North plus the usual issues with light pollution.  I have seen the Northern Lights in an absolutely spectacular display near Pitlochry some years back but I'd hoped my wife would be able to see them for the first time this time; no luck 😞

 

It's looking promising again for tonight so we'll be having a dry night and trying again...

Our issue is we're on the south west edge of the city up quite high and near the top of a hill so whilst we can see north that's where the 'glow' in the sky from the rest of the city is and any other direction were looking up into street lights that are higher up the hill.

 

Needs a walk to the farm at the top of the road or drive out into the Peak District...

You are so bloody lucky... 😁 (I love the Peak District 😎)

 

We're BBQ'ing tonight, so I expect to be incapacitated from driving.  If you do get anything remotely coherent from me later, it'll probably be like the scene with Mac in Local Hero, describing the Borealis to Happer

Sounds like a plan ...

We had a good mooch around different potential spots last night, but beyond a faint greenish tinge to the sky, didn't spot anything like had been seen Friday night.

 

It appears tonight might be an option though, although weather forecast doesn't appear favourable 🤞

Quite like this one though 📷👍

Spotted a Crow and Heron going at it on Saturday.............

Octavia makes good foreground...

I gave up on the Aurora and went back to taking photos of the Moon and Sun - at least you can depend on them putting in an appearance 😄
