Where is it taken from?

On the BBC www there is a picture taken by Euan Finlayson of Northern Lights over Oban.
I can't get my head round where it was taken from, but I don't know the area that well.
There looks to be lots of water and I'm guessing it's looking North so I was wondering if it's taken from somewhere on Kerrera, but that doesn't look right either.
Any ideas?

I would go for above Dunstaffanage looking across Lismore to the bright lights of the Glen Sanda quarry.

I think this is probably right. By diving into ground level view in Google Earth you can get a horizon much like the one above looking NNWish from the Dunstaffnage area.

999 - whatever next Bob? :D

I think its Ganavan bay.
Glensanda lights glowing white, quarrytop lights high up, Kilcheran lights bright ornage down low on water. Nearest light in the water might be the yellow buoy off south end of fish farm?

I'm waiting with bated breath! I'm off to London early tomorrow morning so might need to rely on the vagarities of my O2 dongle.

BTW - I don't remember Bob's linked photo being so green on the first occasion that I looked - did it change?
