We spent Christmas away this year, in Levi, Finland.
On the last night, we were treated to a clear sky (unfortunately with a near full moon) and the best display of Northern Lights I have witnessed - just amazing and humbling.
The softening of the lights comes from the rapid movement of the "curtains" of light- I had never realised just how fast they come, go, mutate and change colour. At times, there were ripples of coloured flashes along the bottom of the curtains that looked like a rope of fairy lights changing colour.
