Wow! Those Lights!

That was some show! I watched from New Biggin Fell near Silverdale and spent a couple of hours lying on my back as the sky caught fire above me. I have a handful of still images which I'll share later, but for now here's a timelapse film of the beauty that brought us home.

As I watched this, and spent a few mid-night hours under the stars I pondered on my Becoming Nature project. My way of sharing beauty with film, photo and prose. The doors close tonight. Click the button to find out more.

  • The whole experience was surreal. It teased before it danced and then, well we all came away awestruck. The cold air finally got to me, frost forming around my feet. But hey, it’s only pain which is placed into insignificance with the scale and wonder of what was opening up in the sky.

  • Love this, so immediate, so atmospheric, feeling I’m there lying beside you soaking all the gorgeousness up, thank you I love these little trips into the magical world as you see it 💎❤️‍🔥🌟🗝️

  • Wow, fantastic footage Jason. We actually saw the Aurora for the first time from the Plain of York last night, what a privilege that was, the majesty of nature ✨🌌

  • I absolutely love your creative videos Jason.. they are soooo well crafted! and the journey they take us on just sublime.. even though I too walk out in nature most days to reset my batteries.. You know I can’t help thinking how much people would love these if they can’t get out for some reason.. maybe house bound due to disabilities or in care homes or hospitals.. the benefits would be amazing I bet… mind you.. not everyone is computer literate.. I work as a companion to elderly disabled people… Keep up the good work! Shona x

  • Most definitely “wow”, so magical! I was very lucky to see them when I flew back to the States after a family visit to England. Thank you Jason.

  • Thank You! So beautiful! The difference between your films and many other peoples, Jason, is that your see and feel and sense the connection and beauty in such a heartfelt way, which comes shining through, and makes it mean so much more 🙏

  • And for all the wonder and majesty and shimmering transience of it all, what really drew me “home” was the Image of Great Bear Ursa Major (The Plough constellation) staying constant and visible through the first few seconds of your film. The “pointer” stars orientating towards Polaris, North Star, Tara, Dhruva, call her what you will. “My” lode-star… Thank you!
