The Northern Lights – in Telford
They are among the world's wonders – and you normally have to travel to the Arctic Circle to see them.
But this week the Northern Lights have made a rare visit to our shores, even appearing over a tower block in Telford.
Other dramatic images have been recorded in Powys, as the weird and wonderful aerial images were set off against the blackness of the Brecon Beacons.

Barry Wheeler, from Telford, caught the lights, or aurora borealis, as he was travelling through Ketley.
The 39-year-old had heard that atmospheric conditions meant the Northern Lights might make an appearance, but completely forgot until he saw the colours in the sky.
"If I am honest I had forgotten about this happening." he said. "So when I looked up at the sky on Tuesday evening I noticed something strange.
"Because I had my sunglasses on it really stood out, so I quickly took a photo on my phone. It was quite exciting."
The Met Office says solar activity, in the form of a flare from the sun, reacts with the earth's magnetic field.
It says a mass ejection of particles from the sun at the weekend has meant the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights has increased, although that likelihood diminishes over time.
Meteorologist Helen Roberts said: "It's all a bit difficult to say who will and won't see it if it happens.
"It's all a bit 'if' at the minute."
Ms Roberts added: "The storm has already left the sun and it takes around 36 hours to reach us, depending on how strong it is."
