On the night of May 10-11, 2024, the sky came alive with a mesmerizing display of Northern lights. The celestial spectacle had been building up since the 10th, with multiple alerts from aurora forecast apps and specialized social networks. According to their predictions, the auroras would grace the heavens early in the morning between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
I had planned to wake up at 2:00 AM and make my way to the Etretat cliffs, just 45 minutes from my home. However, fate had other plans. Just before retiring for the night, I impulsively checked the northern sky with my smartphone's camera. To my astonishment, at 10:30 PM, the sky still glowed with the lingering crepuscular light of the sunset, but there was something more—a deep red glow that seemed to defy the early hour.
Without hesitation, I set off for Etretat. The anticipation of witnessing this celestial dance was too irresistible. As I stood on the cliffs, the Northern lights swirled above me, painting the night canvas with hues of green, pink, red and violet. It was a magical moment—one that etched itself into my memory and my camera forever.
