Green and Purple Aurora

Its always good to see the Aurora, but many nights are full of cloud. A few nights ago the cloud cleared allowing the green then purple shin through.

Tingwall is always a good spot, wide open with the water allowing for good reflections. Its a busy road both for cars north and south


Its a pity about the LED outside light up the valley which has only recently gone up. It is distracting and many more houses and barns now have permanent outside lighting. This site may well be lost if the Viking Energy wind farm goes ahead. The red beacon lights on top of the turbines will show up here even though the will be 10 miles further north



Looking south towards Scalloway and here on the left two large LED lights near the fire station and further along the streetlight which are also LED produce a bluer light. The council are just in the process of replacing all 4000 streetlight with LED lights
