Here in Estonia (pretty much across the globe from New Zealand), around 00:40, I was walking home with a wheelbarrow across the field.

And behold, somewhere above my house, there is a red-green cloud, while north along the horizon, I see green pieces of ribbon.

So of course I got a tripod and camera, dialed 2 seconds of delay (pressing the button makes the tripod wobble) and 2 seconds of exposure and got this. It wan't as fancy with bare eyes, but was fancy enough to hurry. :)

Beautiful, it is surprising the amount of people who think this is what is looks like through the naked eye.
