These stunning pictures show the Northern Lights in all their glory in the sky above the UK.
Photographer Peter Summers, 20, caught the natural wonder in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The vibrant lights were shining off the Scottish coast, on the outskirts of Lossiemouth, Moray, with their reflection in the North Sea.
The spectacular Aurora Borealis scenes were captured on camera from a spot near the town’s lighthouse and West Beach and were visible across the region, with reports elsewhere from Cullen and Fochabers of particularly special sights.
Mr Summers said: “It’s pretty spectacular. The lights were very clear. You could see them all the way to town and there were quite a few curtains.
“I don’t think it was expected. I only really spotted it because the main road to Lossie was shut.
“It was a quiet night, but a few people were out looking.”
Amateur astronomer Pete Sherman, of Fochabers observatory, said he also got a memorable showing for more than an hour just after midnight.
The 47-year-old said: “I opened the observatory to try and get a good view, but there was too much cloud.
“So, I went to my usual ‘secret’ spot in the village and I could see the light ark and it all flared up with reds and greens for more than an hour.
“At about 12.30pm, it really got good.”
