Details:
The auroras started at about 3:45pm, just after the sky here became dark enough to see them (the sun will rise again only around 11 January).
Around 4:10pm I witnessed one of the most amazing, fast and bright displays that I have ever seen (1st photo). I was still inside, not properly dressed for the -20°C weather of the night, so it was really a "point and shoot" photo without too much of thinking (hence the electrical wire)
I have friends from France visiting me in Lapland, and I was very happy that they could see their first auroras ever in such conditions! Until approximately 7pm we could take many nice photos of some rather strong auroras.
Unfortunately afterwards the clouds took over the show. It was nevertheless an excellent first geomagnetic storm for this year 2015!
There was also a nice moon halo as a bonus.
