I still get shocked surprise when I tell people that H G Wells wrote War of the Worlds after learning about the genocide inflicted by British colonists on the Aboriginal Tasmanians. It's right there in the foreword of the book.

Was lucky enough to finally realise my childhood dream and see the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky in the ice lagoon during my winter road trip around Iceland. There's never a guarantee you will see them as they're so unpredictable and the sky must be as dark as possible. This is a long exposure and caught a shooting star in the frame as well.
