Because there is an 11-year cycle on the sun of high activity, there are regular large solar flares on the sun in 2024 and 2025. This means that material that is earthbound is causing the beautiful colours of the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora borealis. In the Netherlands we often see the colour pink and purple, further north, Scandinavia for example, you see more colours. Then green is much more common. With a bit of luck, you see the entire colour spectrum pass by.
And in the Netherlands it is often only visible photographically, you can see the pillars but not so clearly the colours. That doesn't make it any less spectacular.
This is just a nice photo of a landscape in Utrecht. The trees give a nice composition and the blue and starry sky are beautiful and clearly present. Super cool to hang in the living room or bedroom.

The green trees are there for a nice composition.
I love travelling and gardening preferably in combination with photography... Read more…
