Paul, who has lived in York all his life and runs a tattoo studio in Osbaldwick, was out at about at 3am and spotted the light show low in the sky.
“I have now captured Aurora every month in the UK for the last two years, this morning’s photo of Aurora made it my 24th continuous month of Aurora sightings in the UK/York,” said Paul.
“Little do most folk realise but the UK actually has a 12 month Aurora season unlike Sweden, Norway, Iceland and the Arctic regions. I catch Aurora at least once per month from York or nearby in Yorkshire.”
The lights, or Aurora Borealis, appear when atoms in the Earth's high-altitude atmosphere collide with energetic charged particles from the sun.
