About This Photo

The night sky over Henfield, West Sussex, erupts in an ethereal display of red and green, a spectacle so rare in this part of England that it feels almost otherworldly. This fine art print captures the aurora borealis, an elusive phenomenon that rarely graces southern latitudes with such intensity. The vibrant hues ripple across the sky, their glow softly diffused by the night’s mist, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment.

In the foreground, a lone, weathered tree stands in perfect symmetry with its reflection in the still waters, adding a haunting yet beautiful element to the composition. The glass-like surface of the water amplifies the aurora’s brilliance, doubling its intensity and immersing the viewer in an almost surreal scene. A delicate haze lingers along the horizon, enhancing the sense of depth and mystery in this fleeting celestial moment.

This is a photography for those who truly appreciate the night sky, astrophotography, and rare natural events. When you look at this photograph, I want you to feel the same sense of wonder and serenity that I experienced that night. It’s a reminder of the extraordinary beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the timeless connection between the earth and the sky.
