Lovely picture, but I don't believe this is the aurora. More likely it is a reticular cloud formation.

I like the almost abstract quality of this image. Is that a train roof?

Looks like HGV loading bays to me. Cool pic.

They're noctilucent clouds - they're about 80km up in the mesosphere, so still illuminated by the summer twilight when "normal" clouds in the troposhere (like the ones just above that roof) are in the dark. I've never managed to get a decent photo of them!
