Summer in Paradise.

 2022 was a good year for my flower photography. This week I was honoured to be invited to exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery in London as part of the RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show.

Northern Lights in Southport !

 

Yes aurora borealis, this was taken from Marshside in Southport by Vic's on his way back from the camera club.

Is 2023 a good year for aurora borealis?

During the solar maximum, there is a more significant activity, which increases the possibility of seeing more frequent geomagnetic storms and strong Northern Lights at lower latitudes. In 2023, we are getting closer to the solar maximum of cycle number 25, so it's considered a good year to see the Aurora.
