SWMBO and I returned to Levi in Finland last week for a week's skiing and hopefully Northern Lights. The measly hand luggage allowance of only 5kg meant that the 5D3 had to stay at home and the M5 went on its first foreign holiday.
On the Tuesday our Rep banged on the door to let us know the sky was clear and the lights were out!
Realising that if we took the time to walk down to the local lake for the scenic view of them we might miss much of the display, we decided to try our luck where we were - in amongst the holiday cottages.
When I looked at the results I first thought that we had made a misjudgement, but on reflection I think showing the lights in an urban setting is quite appropriate - it is after all how many Laplanders will see them.
What I am sure of is that you lot will soon let me know if you think I am talking bullshine!
