<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At 9pm on the 31st March 2001 the night sky to
the south of Jindabyne NSW was alight with the colour of a distant
bushfire, or so I thought. I photographed the lights for 1 hour before relising
what they were. The incredible orange , red and deep yellow glows kept rising
and falling like search lights until 4am. The colours are a result of
Jindabyne's altitude (960 metres) which is why I did not instantly recognise
them for an auroa. Only a handfull of very lucky or observant people witnessed
the event, one which my wife gail will always remember as she first sighted and
identified the aurora.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a photographer I have plenty of different
images if you wish to purchase any. We were also lucky enough to see an aurora
in Queenstown New zealand on 21st July 2004 which displayed all the green and
blue curtains which are the hallmark of low altitude auroras.Gail again sighted
this one whilst sitting in a spa drinking a good red. Life is hard for star
gazers.</FONT></DIV>
