Aurora Borealis on a Hill near Stonehenge, England

"I arrived in Stonehenge early, before sunset. As I set up my equipment to shoot star trails, I overheard people saying that a severe solar storm heading towards us could cause the elusive Northern lights to appear. I had no clue about it! Only by coincidence, I was there. I had never seen the Northern Lights. Experiencing nature’s most spectacular light show was always a dream of mine. I was excited thinking that even a faint and distant capture of the impressive Aurora Borealis would be perfect!"
"While chatting with a Stonehenge security guard, and shooting test shots towards the Northern horizon, we noticed a green tint in the sky at around 22.15. In the next 45 minutes almost the entire sky filled with colours. You could see these huge rays of light and colour painting the sky red and green. I stayed up all night capturing the Lights. I left Stonehenge and visited Wilton Windmill to add a few more photos to my collection."
Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury.
