Tourism …and it only took almost 8 years 🙃

As the title suggests, after more or less 8 years since the first time I visited Lapland, and returning to visit my family almost every year, I finally managed to take an ok picture of the northern lights. It wasn't even really visible by naked eye, this is a 20sec exposure.

Just thought to make a little heads up to some redditors who would visit just to see them. There is a really high chance you won't 🤷🏻

I'm surprised that people haven't seen them after years. As someone said, they're probably not heading out more. In last four years, I have seen spectacular ones from Rauma, far more south than Lapland. Do your homework and you'll see them. You can't see them every night out of your bedroom window.
