I've seen the aurora borealis on at least three occasions. I just don't have any photographs of the occasions.

I stayed at a cottage on the edge of the Solway Firth and we got a quite clear show, certainly more than we had expected or hoped for. On another occasion I stayed up through the night with friends in Wales. We were high up and star gazing. We were blessed with a brief view of colours dancing. Even down here in the south, there have been rare occasions when the aurora borealis has been visible and although I haven't actually seen it from here I have seen the hints of colour change in the sky.

On the other hand, I have a group of local friends who paid quite a lot of money to go on cruise and Nothern Lights experience. They got the cruise but the Northern lights barely came out to play!
