Wow

Wow.

A visit to the northern parts of Scandinavia is on the bucket list for a lot of people and a large part of the reason for that the desire to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Donegal on a clear enough night, however, you don’t have to leave the country to see Aurora Borealis and last night was one of those nights.

Photographer Rónán McLaughlin sent us in some snaps of the sky above Malin Head in the wee hours of the morning and it’s safe to say they’re amazing.
