YOU’VE heard of the northern lights now feast your eyes on the natural wonder of the SOUTHERN lights. This light display, called auroras, maybe on the lesser photographed side of the Earth – but these pictures prove the Southern lights are just as impressive. They are especially striking when set against the famous Southern Cross star constellation. The dazzling pictures of auroras on the other side of the planet were taken on the Australian island of Tasmania by local horticulturalist Jonathan Esling, 33. ‘Quite often people are unaware that auroras can even be seen from Tasmanian,’ said Jonathan. Taken on 01/05/13.
