    Photographer Paul Oldham captured this stunning shot of the Northern Lights over Ripon last night.

    Mr Oldham took the image at How Hill at about 2.30am last night.

    The Milky Way is also visible in the top left too.

    Mr Oldham, who specialises in photographing nature and landscapes in Ripon and the Yorkshire Dales, has taken plenty of outstanding photos before.

    But he described last night as "definitely the best photography night of my life".

    The Northern Lights have been visible over England recently. Caused by activity on the surface of the sun, they create a natural light display of green and red.
