Marike came to wake me up after midnight. She said “I think the lights are coming!”.
Midnight, Finnish autumn, a pinch in the air, the strongest aurora up to now. There were clouds that were a bit of fun spoilers, but we got our photographs!

No artificial city lights in a radius of many tens of kilometres. For the first time we managed to get green and red colours on the same photograph Red is seldom seen.
Photograph taken 13 October at 00:27
