A SOMERSET photographer has captured an incredible night-time view of Glastonbury Tor.
Michelle Cowbourne, who posts online under Visions of Somerset, ventured out after 2am on Monday (October 7) to try and snap Northern lights.
She explains: "I have an aurora alert app that goes off if the likelihood of seeing the aurora increases to a red alert.
"At 1am it peaked red. I looked out of the window and saw it was clear with lots of stars so thought I would take a chance and go up the Tor.
"I didn't get the Northern lights but still plenty of atmosphere in the night sky."
Michelle used a wide aperture and long exposure between eight and 14 seconds to shoot the scene. The camera was on a tripod with a remote shutter.
