The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, usually appear as curtains of glowing light from a distance, but when viewed from directly below, like in Mr Winiarczyk’s amazing video, they appear as rainbow-coloured rays brightly shining down directly from the earth’s atmosphere.
Mr Winiarczyk captured the heavenly display at Strathy Point on the north coast on March 17, during a period of increased electromagnetic activity that caused auroras to be seen across the skies of Northern Europe.
When the photographs, taken over a period of time, are played in succession, the usually slow, graceful aurora is transformed into a hypnotic, psychedelic light show.
