I’m an Aussie that’s moved to NZ, does that count? Haha. Cheers.

Check out the YouTube video. Link is in the comment thread. I try explain some of the factors to look for. It’s not too common though, it’s all about the sun blasting flares at us, essentially. Potential this weekend. Good luck!

45 degrees latitude. On this night it was visible from the North Island and western Australia.

Sunrise, big peak, valley, wide angle with foreground interest. Nothing ground breaking that’s for sure! I’m a sucker for this type of scene though and there’s less than a handful of images from this particular mountain and valley. You can view more of my work on my Instagram Thanks!

I’ve spent most of my career trying to do Fiordland justice. I don’t think I’ll ever succeed but I enjoy trying!
