Northern Lights.

[Phil]

Hi, I found myself in Finland last week and decided to go and see if I could see the Northern Lights.

It was quite cloudy but after driving for some time, we came to a clear patch of sky.

These photos were taken in a roadside layby and it was about -25c, so it was very difficult to operate the camera!
In an ideal world it would have been warmer and I would have had my wide angle lens with me....

I cannot even begin to describe how painful it was taking these photos!
It was so cold my hands cracked and started bleeding!

I hope you enjoy.
