So beautiful and impressive, Dennis.
Thank you for sharing,
Yildiz
ps. Sury, Kp stands for Geomagnetic Activity (storm intensity) level which produces these magnificent lights. The higher the number the more gorgeous the Northern lights are.

Glad you guys liked them, To have Northenlights at my latitude ( same as Stockholm ) dont happen very often but twice this year.
For the Aurora Borealis to be visible here KP needs to be at least 5 and we hit 9 that day ( must have been a hell of solarstorm ), so even southern UK could see it.
See link below for more info about KP and the Aurora Borealis.
