That makes no sense in several different ways. First of all, that's unlikely to happen. Secondly, she can solve that problem by just not wearing that outfit. At most she could be due a payment equal to the cost of a couple sweaters.

I had medium length hair and wore round glasses for a time, and during that time someone in a pub once called me Harry Potter. Watch out JK Rowling, my lawyers will be in touch!

There's absolutely no reason she would. Inspiring a piece of art doesn't mean you get paid for it. Everything a creator makes gets inspiration from somewhere, if they had to pay every inspiration they wouldn't have any money left. It would completely put a damper on all manner of art.

For example, you wouldn't have all the songs ever written about exes and failed relationships because that would mean having to pay your exes! Taylor Swift would be up shit's creek.

I was reading recently about Tom Thomson the Canadian painter, who painted the Northern Lights a few times. Then on Sunday there was a nature show on TV showing images of them from the Yukon. I was thinking it must be amazing so see them and literally thinking about the lights all weekend.

Then I see a story saying they were visible from Ireland, there are pictures from Sligo which is nearby to where I live. I was outside at night but didn't notice anything. And the articles say, as has been noted here, that they were seen better on photos than with the named eye.

I don't get this? Whenever I take photos at night the photos generally pick up LESS of the various atmospheric effects in the sky than what my naked eye sees. Also, how do people know to take photos if the phenomenon if you can't see it with the naked eye?

The artist I was reading about always worked from life in the wilderness so I'm guessing you can see it. I'm so annoyed, it was like the universe was giving me signs about it and I was supposed to see it but I missed it.

Be handy if they could tell us ahead of time when it's going to happen. After the other night a bunch of websites showing the photos said it could happen again the next night but it was cloudy, as it almost always is in February in Ireland.
