Aurora Borealis over Belgium

We had some northern lights over Belgium the other day. And that does not happen very often. An aurora borealis (northern lights) is usually observed in the arctic region. When it’s observed as far south as Belgium, it creates a buzz. It was all over social media.

I had never seen an aurora borealis with my own eyes. So when I saw the news, I went out to check on it. I caught the tail end of the event. I guess it was around 23:30H. But it was still clearly visible as a greenish yellowish hue in the sky. Quickly grabbed a tripod and my little Canon Powershot G7x III and shot this photo from my backyard.
