it isnt, if you read the description it is a time lapse video.

ive seen the northern lights when i was in the RAF based in goose bay canada, absolutly amazin but scary also as it sets the wolves off howling and the base has no exterior fence.

ste

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
