When I came home I saw my neighbour and asked him what he thought about the aurora.

Nb: What aurora?

That one over there.

Nb: Oh. I guess it’s too bright to see it, I guess…

No, that’s the aurora! 😂 Then I held up my camera and showed him the viewfinder.

That was in October 2024 in southern Ireland (South of Cork). I only brought my 28-200 f2.8… lens to go whale watching. We didn’t expect to get an alert from the aurora app during dinner. After a pint we couldn’t drive out of town so we walked to the harbour.
