Nice one Ronan.
Saw them from Shannon,
low down but bright.
Lets hope for a few more big displays before
the seasons end.

I had these about 4am on the morning of the 2nd. I was in Newcastleton, on the Scottish/English border, and stumbled from my tent to be confronted with it. It was absolutely astonishing....almost surreal.
