I have yet to see the Aurora Borealis. My teenage friend just up the road took a fabulous photo of them the other week.
Unfortunately these are not the Northern Lights- they are the bright LEDs from the "Suffolk Sweet Tomatoes" factory at nearby Great Blakenham!
How embarrassing!
In other news this week, Lily and Margot, blue throated macaws, have escaped from London Zoo.They were apparently on a "routine flight" on Monday when they flew out of their enclosure. What is a "routine flight" do you think? Staff say they have long tails, and a loud call, and with their bright blue and yellow plumage are clearly distinguishable from London's indigenous birdlife.
This photo is the real
Aurora, and was taken only two miles from the Tomato Factory [but in the correct direction!

Tee hee!!!!!

DeleteOh, the poor lady who thought she was seeing the northern lights! I hope the macaws are found, but, maybe they weren't that happy in their enclosure and would prefer to be free!

DeleteThe photo from the tomato plant reminds me of our daughter’s early childhood. Every night around 8pm, the blast furnace at Ravenscraig steelworks would be tapped and the sky glowing red could be seen from her upstairs bedroom window. After that was done, she would say it was dark time and finally settle down to sleep. Catriona

DeleteWhat a pity. I have seen the northern lights twice in Norway and once in Scotland, Oban to be precise. The best display was in Trondheim, Norway, quite magical. Tomato lights don't sound the same do they?
ReplyDeleteHaha ... her photo is very good, for a tomato factory. Lucky that she didn't send it in to the BBC weather people. :-)

ReplyDeleteWe are just too lazy to go down to the river late at night and look for the Northern Lights when predicted. At our other house over 30 years ago, we were on a hill and could see them from a window at the end of the living room. Our son got good photos of them recently in Ottawa, having driven out specially to look for them.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be able to see them through your window
DeleteWe drove out to a "dark park" area to see them - could only see a faint pink in the sky with the naked eye, but holding the phone camera up gave us beautiful photos, without even changing the settings on the camera. These phone cameras are Amazing!
ReplyDeleteLovely story
DeletePerhaps Margo and Lily are just visiting their smaller feathered cousins. The Auroa photo is lovely but I still enjoyed seeing the tomato version. Poor lady!
