AMAZING AURORA BOREALIS
A GLOWING range of greens and blues sweep across the sky in a spectacular display of light. The night sky looks magical as hints of stars glisten amongst the colours. These spellbinding images of the Northern Lights were captured by Norwegian photographer Tor-Ivar Naess. Tor-Ivar developed a love for the Aurora Borealis after he became fascinated by the colour range of the natural phenomenon.
