I decide talk about natural phenomenas that usually are thought to be more "fantasy-thing", even they can be very common. We just don't have time, possibility to see them or interest to pay attention to them nowadays. This is kinda sad, since we don't appreciate these so much anymore.

In Finland we have been lucky and we had 2 natural phenomenas this week.
Beginning of the week we had auroras borealis (aka. northern lights) so strong that they were visible in Helsinki too and all that "light pollution" from city didn't hide them. Unfortunately I wasn't able to witness this  
There is Panorama picture from Tampere in web for people interested

End of the week (today) there was solar eclipse. I tried to follow it, but didn't have proper equipment and it was cloudy, so I just had to watch it as LIVE from youtube. (go to 1:15:00-)

Now to real discussion:
I would like to know what other amazing phenomenas you have in your country! Pictures, links are welcome. Even smallest phenomena can be amazing, we just have to realize it and take our time to admire this!

I couldn't see the eclipse either. Too cloudy, as per usual here.

The snow and hail storms I occasionally get, high up on a hill as my house is, aren't particularly special but I always take the time out to watch them.
