It's "fess-up" time I'm afraid, folks. I didn't take this.; I wish I HAD! I found the image, didn't note the source, just that it was captured earlier this week. (There has been a rash of CME's lately.) Hope this doesn't detract from the beauty of the event.	Posted by tomatoman 26th February 2017ce

No probs my end, ta for it anyway, sir. Reckon the lights part of our forebears belief system, particularily up there. To us, explained and even pretty forecastable. To them, supernatural, of the gods, magical. In a way I prefer the latter, tbh. Wiki Carrington Event. That could have blown heads off for hundreds of years thereafter back then. Science is on occasion a killjoy. What a backcloth to those magnificent stones.	Posted by spencer 28th February 2017ce
