The Aurora hits South Donegal!

Many thought you had to go to Scandinavia to see the Northern Lights but more recently some great images have been appearing from Malin Head – Ireland’s most northerly point. Photographing the Aurora has become a major past time for many professional and amateur photographers with many travelling from far afield to Donegal in order to capture that perfect photograph of the Northern Lights.
