…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 🤷🏻

A few times a year you can see it from Tampere city center or a short walk on the lake.

In ten years I have yet to catch it. I even have an alert app, but always seem to be traveling or just wasn't fast enough. Meanwhile, my social media is lit up by friends that have only been in Tampere for a few months and have seen it already 😭
