AURORA BOREALIS OVER STONEHENGE
An impressive burst of auroral activity on the evening of 12 August 2024 enabled me to capture this view of the Northern Lights over Stonehenge, by kind permission of English Heritage. A 10-second exposure has recorded texture in the aurora whilst an 8-minute exposure show detail in the stones.
