This great shot was taken by one of customers - Gareth Pinckard, of Ramsey, Isle of Man. This rare and breathtaking image of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) was taken on the 11th March 2011 from Snaefell, the highest point on the Isle of Man.

Gareth set up his photo of the Northern Lights using a Canon EOS 7D, SanDisk Extreme Compact Flash Card and a Vanguard Camera Tripod at around 11pm and shot off around 60 frames, this being one of his favourites. Being so high up and away from towns and cities enabled him to get some good shots that were not affected by light pollution.

The Northern Lights can generally only be viewed from the Arctic Circle, Scandinavia and some parts of Northern Scotland, so Gareth was pleased to be able to take advantage of this rare siting on the Isle of Man and get some great images.
Gareth was also lucky enough to get the image highlighted on local BBC weather update.
