An impressive display over Thornwick Bay

            I've waited for what feels like ages to capture the Aurora Borealis but then I realise it's only been a couple of months since I last captured such a good display.

This is the Aurora display from the 10th October 2024, my 3rd decent showing this year.

I suspect that once this current solar maximum recedes, I'm going to spend the next 11 years disappointed until the sun reaches its maximum again.  I have no doubt I'll still be taking photos by then; even if I'm stumbling around with a zimmer frame, I'll still be keen to capture this!

Iceland / Norway here I come....
