As the solar
wind swept in over our planet tonight, the silent winter
landscape with its heavy snow-clad trees made me feel that
our place in the solar system must surely be one of the
most beautiful and spectacular.

I don't usually
look for auroras until late at night, but at 7pm my friend
called to say they were out, so i went to take a look! These
were taken at the "Snow King" castle, built every year by
a local houseboat resident for a month long winter festival.
