Moonset over Grianan this morning. After what seems like quite a while my plans and weather luck collide. Beautiful to watch and always a thrill to photograph. I love a full moon #Donegal

I met a young fellow on Errigal last night & asked him kindly if he wouldn't mind being a professional silhouette for me. On top of the world here or maybe it was only on top of #Donegal. Either way, it felt very good

Moonrise over Fanad Lighthouse tonight #Donegal. When it was time to give up hope I made a cup of tea and waited a bit longer. There's very little in this world as beautiful as a moonrise

Watching the Aurora - At Tullagh Bay #Inishowen #Donegal The sky changed continually throughout the night & the main action stretched a great expanse between the NE and the SW. Thankfully I took the decision to make a few panoramas of the scene

Grianan #Aurora #Inishowen #Donegal. After my time at Tullagh I decided it was time to move on & chase this shot in that I'd always wanted. Arriving after 3am the sky errupted once more. The birds were already singing. I took my final shots & knew it was sadly time for home

Equinox sunrise this morning at the ancient Grianan of Aileach ringfort #Inishowen #Donegal The monument is designed to catch the equinox sunrise, magically casting a golden light beam across the interior of the structure. Always a thrill to witness
