Amazing picture of the Milky Way over Ballycotton in Cork last night

Stunning, absolutely stunning.

Stunning, absolutely stunning.

We’ve been treated to some glorious pictures of the sky above Ireland in good weather and in bad in the last few months, but we don’t think we’ve set eyes on anything as spectacular as the sky over Ballycotton in east Cork last night.

The stunning picture below was captured by amateur photographer John Finn last night, capturing the Milky Way surrounded by a multitude of stars in a quite glorious setting on the south coast.

An amazing sight.

Thanks to John Finn for allowing us to publish the photo. You can follow John on Twitter and check out more of his work on flickr.
