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.

These ancient standing stones were erected in the late Neolithic era and are one of the oldest and largest megalithic sites in the UK. The site was a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age, and it’s easy to see why. The landscape is breathtaking, and the stones themselves are awe-inspiring.
Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom, located in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The waterfall has a sheer drop of 200 meters (660 feet) and is about four times taller than Niagara Falls. It can be reached by a 6-mile (10-kilometer) walk across boggy ground from the road 3 miles (5 kilometers) south of Kylesku in Sutherland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible. Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is also known as the “waterfall of the beautiful tresses” in Scottish Gaelic. The view from the top of the waterfall is breathtaking, with the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area visible in the distance

Gruinard Bay is a large, remote coastal embayment located in northwestern Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. The bay is approximately 5.5 miles long along its western shore and 4.5 miles long on its eastern shore, forming an L shape. It is situated 12 miles north of Poolewe and is in the former parish of Lochbroom. The bay overlooks the infamous Gruinard Island (the island is best known for its association with biological warfare testing during World War II, which rendered the island dangerous for all mammals until it was decontaminated in 1990), which is 0.68 miles (1 km) offshore, at the eastern side of the bay. The Summer Isles are visible to the northeast
