Aurora Borealis from Portencross
This is Portencross castle, Portencross near the village of West Kilbride on the Ayrshire coast, I knew the northern lights were happening at this moment due to the jungle drums of FB. I had my camera set to a very high sensitivity so I could get the best out of the low light conditions which has in turn created a beam of light from the light inside the room (but it was visible to the eye). I have never noticed this light on before. At first I thought there may be someone on the roof checking out the northern lights but I saw no activity at all. This shot was taken just after 10:30

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis, this stunning print showcases a mesmerizing display of lights dancing in the night sky above Portencross castle. Located near the village of West Kilbride on the Ayrshire coast, this historic landmark serves as a breathtaking backdrop to nature's enchanting spectacle. The photographer, Peter Ribbeck, was alerted to this celestial phenomenon through social media and wasted no time in setting up his camera to capture every intricate detail. With his camera set at an incredibly high sensitivity, Ribbeck skillfully captured not only the vibrant colors illuminating the sky but also an unexpected beam of light emanating from within one of the castle's rooms. Curiosity piqued by this mysterious glow, Ribbeck initially suspected someone might be exploring the rooftop to witness nature's grand show. However, upon closer inspection, he found no signs of activity or human presence. This peculiar occurrence added an extra layer of intrigue and wonder to an already awe-inspiring scene. Taken just after 10:30 PM under low-light conditions, Ribbeck's photograph encapsulates both natural wonders and unexplained phenomena. It serves as a testament to our planet's extraordinary beauty and reminds us that there is still much left for us to discover and marvel at in our world.
