kins Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The last week of August was very "stressful" for me... lots of aurora sightings quite far south during the middle of the week and I couldn't just sit and wait anymore! On the Thursday night I checked thoroughly all weather forecasts, crossed my fingers and booked a flight for the next morning to Helsinki. Once there, I rented a car and drove about 100km further north just to escape light pollution. I found a nice beach facing north on a small lake... and as soon as the sky was dark enough... voilà! My first "southern" auroras, my first summer auroras, my first auroras above a non frozen lake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Haha fantastic images! You couldn't take anymore so you had to order a flight to Finland? That is fantastic! Are you still in Finland now? Tonight's show was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks Marcel! That's exactly it: I couldn't take it anymore so I flew to Finland. I stayed just 2 days!Now really mad at having a family reunion in France tomorrow haha, otherwise I would certainly already be back north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
