Best we could get after a few hours (Solar Storm)
So my lovely friend @stroggo messaged me last night telling me to HURRY.
This is the photo my friend managed to get 💜
I was already rushing to the park. Unfortunately, any Auckland photos even far up past North Shore seems to be more of a blur of colour rather than the beautiful definitions taken from South Island.
Afterwards, I called up some friends and picked them up and we drove to the nearby observatory hoping that it'll be just a bit darker there. No luck. In fact, we ended up driving back to my original location for some better photos, but by then the colours were dying down.
