Random maybe, but I'm in northwest wicklow and looking out across the lake right now I can see the clouds lit up by an orange light. Thought it might be a big fire over the hills on the horizon because the light isn't steady, but the pulations seem more like artificial light, that and the colour.

Only thing I can think of is a load of lights going on and off? :pac:

Where exactly are ya?

Lacken, near Blessington, looking roughly south.
Seems ot have stopped anyway. Maybe it was just street lights coming on or something but it was pretty, whatever it was!

Edit: Didn't see your loc. In Lacken, looking towards the Valleymount isthmus. But the clouds were miles behind that from the looks of it.

I think that might be Knockenstocken.

Mad little festival starting this Friday, I can only assume people are down there setting everything up.

It could be the lights from the army doing night training in the Glen of Imaal. The light I saw last night sounds exactly like your description.

Yeah, might have been Imaal. It's about right directionally at least.
Don't think it could have been Knockanstockan, they're only 2 miles away from me and in the wrong direction.
