The second one was taken on 05/09/2024 at Athgreany Stone Circle, Co. Wicklow.

The third one was taken on 04/09/2024 at Threecastles Castle, Co. Wicklow.

Behold the celestial dance!

On May 10th, we witnessed a rare geomagnetic storm that painted the sky with a kaleidoscope of colors. The auroras, both borealis and australis, put on a breathtaking show as a result of solar activities not seen for two decades. This long-exposure shot attempts to encapsulate the awe-inspiring beauty of nature’s own light display on the sky above Blessington Lakes. A reminder of our planet’s place in the vast cosmic ballet.
