PHOENIX ARIZONA

SPECTACULAR VIEW FROM THE PLANE

I boarded my BA flight from london to Phoenix Arizona. Loved my seat with extra leg room. On take off, the sun soon began to set. For those of you know me, I am a sucker for a fabulous sunset. The red horrizon seemed to follow us most of the way from England to America, never quite getting dark to the left of our journey.

Will I see the Northern Lights?

Studying the map, as we flew towards the U.S. I was inwardly happy we were flying over iceland. Trying to calculate if it would be dark as we flew in a northerly direction.

My big problem was, I was sitting on the wrong side of the plane. I kept walking to see if there were any vacant window seats, but sadly not. Later in, I noticed a passenger taking pics in his phone out of his blank window ! What could he be taking a picture of ? Not one to sit there wondering, curiosity got the better of me.

I wondered over to ask was he by any chance taking photographs of the auroer? He said YES ! He saw my excitement and very kindly offered me his seat to have a look.

At last ! It is there 😀

For three years, keeping eyes on the Aurorer aps, three failed viewing trips to Scotland and a pending trip booked to Iceland, there they were ! Only not how I expected. It seemed like a grey line, moving slowly across the sky in an arch. I was seeing the earths circumference of the auroer forming.

I am over the moon to display my photographs of the northern lights in the skies over Iceland & Greenland. What a spectacular sight to see on my way to America. A true unbelievable experience.
