Oostvaardersdijk - Lelystad (Netherlands)

Oostvaardersdijk [N701] 12/05/2024 01h19
During the weekend of May 11 and 12, 2024, there was solar activity unlike anything seen in years, meaning that polar lights were even observable in the Netherlands and Belgium. The previous night (of this photo taking) there was more activity and images reminiscent of Iceland and Lapland appeared on social media. The polar lights that were visible this night were more photographic northern lights. But with camera and tripod to one of the darkest places in the Netherlands; Oostvaardersplassen along the N701 between Almere Poort and Lelystad.

Aurora
An aurora, also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.
