Ritva Reinilä

In the middle of the night, full of hope, I looked out and couldn't believe my eyes: finally, after many cloudy weeks, decent northern lights! It was freezing around 16 and the car wasn't even ready to go.

Peeking through the door showed very clear flames. Yes, there were flashes, sometimes they tried to make a crown over my head, but the phenomenon was not very clear. After about an hour I noticed the lens was completely frozen, apparently moisture in the air. All in all, it was a good evening after a long tube of clouds.
