Hi Tony

Im still sorting through the many images taken of the beautiful green aurora display which took place on Monday night and wanted to share a few more taken from the Co. Derry coast showing the aurora over the famous Mussenden Temple with its unusual domed design which is not too dissimilar to an astronomical observatory in form. Im sure the 4th Earl of Bristol in 1785 who built it must have observed these same aurora displays and wondered what they were and perhaps seen them as ill omens. It was nice to be standing on his ancient footsteps enjoying the same show with as much wonder as he did!
