A magical night

This morning we went over to a rocky beach famed for something called Dragon's Eye. I had not heard of it, perhaps it's an 'Insta' thing. Anyway, it's a rock in tidal pool... but very cool.  The first pic is the "trad" shot, the second is my interpretation.
In the afternoon we went to another beach with fierce waves and had fun playing about there getting wet up to the knees when a big one comes in... as you do.  By now it was raining and we were doubtful that an aurora would be visible. Next stop was a gorgeous little village called Nusfjord.  No cars allowed, it was on a hillside & full of cute old houses that have been restored. There was a pizza restaurant in the basement of one. Small & rustic, the front wall was hewn stone and 2 feet thick with tiny mullioned windows and big deep window sills. One of the side walls was just a huge bare rock, part of the mountainside the house is built on. The pizzas were fabulous, hand made in the Italian style. A one person pizza + a glass of Chianti NZD 65.
So, then a drive to yet another beach. It was still raining, but several people said they could see the aurora behind the clouds and it was large. Okaaay.  We went down to the beach and set up and before you could say peas... the green sprite appeared, she got stronger and stronger and then began dancing. It was simply magical. Other people began to arrive & unfortunately 1 or 3  sat up on the road in their cars with the headlights on... ruining everyone's photographs. By this time a bunch of Spaniards had turned up and being excitable latinos, they did not take kindly to the twats on the road & made their feelings we known. The aurora had dimmed significantly by this time. It would still have been exciting to the latecomers but they had no idea what they missed. We decided to exit the chaos.  Our guide said this was the best he has seen this year.
