Night Swimming Under the Northern Lights
I arrived at the beach last night for a night swim and saw the sky lit up as soon as I stepped out of the Land Rover.
The Northern Lights were changing as I watched. At times, colour spread across a broad area of sky. Then the display would shift into distinct beams of light reaching vertically overhead.
I walked down to the sea and swam for about half an hour beneath them. The display lasted throughout my swim and was still going when I came out. Afterwards, I stood on the beach taking photographs, including this one of the Land Rover beneath the sky. There was time to watch it change again rather than just catch a brief glimpse.
I spend a lot of time in the sea after dark, but being able to swim beneath a display like that is always special.
