People by now are probably starting to get sick and tired of it, so let me add to the sickness and fatigue with another northern lights photo. 😜

The composition of this photo isn't great. The lens that I used wasn't wide angle enough to put more of especially the cheese farm on the right on the photo better, and I couldn't quite choose between the windmills and the cheese farm either.

Under normal circumstances, I more than likely would have thrown this photo away. But the northern lights change everything. 😅

Right, I'm a bit late to the party, but here's one photo of this little obscure event that happened in the sky over here last Monday... 😉

But seriously, much like the night of the 10th to the 11th of May 2024, and to somewhat of a lesser extent the evening of the 10th of October 2024, the evening of the 19th of January 2026 is one I'm going to remember for a long time. 🙂
