Postcard from Scotland

Northern Lights

Tripping the light fantastic: Amazing pictures capture a stunning display of the Northern Lights off the coast of Scotland 

 Daily Mail | 13 September 2014

The deep purple and green bands of shimmering light were caught by award-winning photographer Maciej Winiarczyk - who spends much of his time snapping the aurora borealis. The pictures were taken in Caithness - where people were treated to a rare glimpse of the phenomenon. The display was caused by a solar flare - which hurled vast clouds of electrically-charged particles - further south than usual. There were also sightings in many parts of north England.
