About this image

A last photo from the aurora I was lucky enough to see in Orkney.

The curtain shape was oddly indistinct but clearly visible, as were the jets going upward from it.

The red glow was visible, but not obviously red - to me anyway.

I had been there 15 minutes before I spotted the sheep grazing and sleeping within the neolithic stone ring. They seem unfussed by my presence or the other 3 photographers - quite a quiet evening there apparently.
