At the same time, I started to see flashes in the sky. Then my vision was filled with sparkling lights. A few minutes later I got an aurora warning from my brother and the aurora app. KP 8-9&lt;p&gt;As the sun went down I was waking through a woodland. I thought the dark would help my eyes to see the aurora, and I could point my camera away from the light pollution of Liverpool and maybe catch some colour with a long exposure.&lt;p&gt;Suddenly, I realised the colour of the aurora was coming through the trees, and getting brighter. I wasn&amp;#x27;t expecting it to be visible to naked eye like this. In these latitudes the advice is to set your camera to highest iso and slowest shutter speed and hope to catch a little colour. I wasn&amp;#x27;t expecting this! So I packed up quick and ran through the woods and into open fields. There, directly above me was this intense white light, with white arms forming a sort-of cross. The longest arm formed an arch over the whole sky, and where they reached the earth, on either side they became colourful, like a twinkling rainbow stretching out to space.&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#x27;t have the equipment or the wits to get a good photo. I just threw myself on the ground and lay on my back watching.&lt;p&gt;Wildest thing I ever saw. Absolutely awesome.&lt;p&gt;When I regain my composure, I will upload some photos somewhere (where, though?) and edit this comment.</text><parent_chain><item><author>grafelic</author><text>I feel I need to report my experience from Denmark, Jutland.&lt;p&gt;It started with white broad streaks, which most of all looked like fog, but then perhaps after 10 minutes or so, we saw colors of red, purple and green begin to emerge from the these streaks. Most astoundingly it all seemed to emanate from a fluctuating point in the middle of the sky. If you looked closely at this point  you could see it fall into itself, morphing and shifting continuously.&lt;p&gt;We went around the house and we could purple streaks at the top and orange to red patches at the bottom of the sky.&lt;p&gt;Colors observed:

Purple,  
Red,

It really gave me the sense of being a tiny thing on a virtually naked sphere hurtling through the void - seeing such titanic structures really puts things into scale.</text><parent_chain><item><author>grafelic</author><text>I feel I need to report my experience from Denmark, Jutland.&lt;p&gt;It started with white broad streaks, which most of all looked like fog, but then perhaps after 10 minutes or so, we saw colors of red, purple and green begin to emerge from the these streaks.
