This is what the sky looked like for a few minutes in Sweden yesterday: Norrsken

Personally I missed it, but I've seen the phenomenon 100s of times before because I'm initially from the middle/north parts of Sweden. It's really beautiful and surrealistic when it's constantly moving and morphing like an Amiga-demo plasma-effect in the sky. ;)
