Last night, I sat on the cliffs at Rhossili from 10:30pm until 1:30am. I set my camera up to take photos continuously and when I put them all together, this photo was created showing how the Earth rotates in relation to the stars. The star in the middle is Polaris, also known as the North Star.

At 10 minutes past midnight this morning, I was stood in the water at Three Cliffs Bay! The water was warm and being in the water meant my legs weren't bombarded by sandhoppers (yeuk!) Standing under the stars, watching occasional flashes of bioluminescence really is a privilege and I enjoyed every second.

Last night, when most sensible people were in bed, I was standing in the sea for a couple of hours watching and photographing the bioluminescent plankton at Rhossili Bay!

Bioluminescent plankton is notoriously unpredictable and can appear at any time at any tide or not appear at all.

This is the island of Taransay (where Ben Fogle became known for Castaway 2000) across Luskentyre from Seilebost in the Outer Hebrides. This was the view from the bottom of the garden of the self catering cottage we rented - needless to say, I spent a lot of time with my camera here :)

Of course I didn't take just one photo on Sunday night :) After shooting the first photo, I ran to the top of the path so I could overlook Rhossili Bay. This is the Aurora Borealis over Rhossili Bay with the moon, taken just before midnight.

Last night, a dream came true - I saw and captured the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) over Rhossili Bay. I've had this location in mind for years if the conditions were right. And last night it happened!
