KEEN photographer Paul Mortimer took these photos last night (November 3) of the Northern Lights over York.
Paul, who has lived in York all his life and runs a tattoo studio in Osbaldwick, was out at about 10.30pm and spotted the light show low in the sky.
He has just returned from a trip to Scotland at the weekend where he went to Bellhaven, Dunbar to witness Saturday nights solar flare activity.
He joined photographers who gathered from all over the UK to watch and capture the spectacle on camera.
The lights, or Aurora Borealis, appear when atoms in the Earth's high-altitude atmosphere collide with energetic charged particles from the sun.
