Amateur photographer Noel Browne captured the Aurora Borealis - also known as the Northern Lights - at Drombeg stone circle near Glandore. The lights have been, unusually, visible in the skies over West Cork since the weekend. ‘Faint purples and greens were visible along with the prominent constellation of Ursa Major, or the Plough, sitting nicely over the stone circle,’ explained Noel.
