You're spoiled with so many natural beauties living up there.

My one and only view the other week was pretty washed out and I'd need to drive quite a way to find truly dark skies even though most of the sodium street lights were replaced by what appear to be poundshop torches on a stick some years back.

Chastened by this sad affair Val became a nun
Unaware til later her oven held a bun
She told Mother Superior it was a gift from up above
For Jesus son of God was her one true love

    

That looks lovely, Diasi.  Thank you.

Yes that's true, I do have the alerts on. Even after years of seeing the lights they still fascinate me as much as the first time I saw them.
I remember Dunc waking me up and telling me to get dressed, he drove me to the beach where I just stood on the sands staring upwards, and watching them dance slowly around me while he grinned like a loon at the look my face.

Crikey, this post has made me miss my home area which I rarely think about.

Excellent, I've just used it a couple of times. 

Never saw that one coming.
