照亮黑暗的天空(Lighting up dark skies)
在英格兰最北端的诺森伯兰郡著名的悬铃木峡谷,北极光照亮了天空。数百年来,这棵梧桐树一直在哈德良城墙陡峭的山脚下孤独守夜。哈德良城墙是一座73英里长的防御工事,标志着罗马帝国的西北边境。在天空的衬托下,它被认为是诺森伯兰国家公园中拍摄最多的景点。

The Northern Lights have set the sky alight with colour here at the famous Sycamore Gap, in Northumberland, England’s most northerly county. This sycamore tree has been keeping a lonely vigil for hundreds of years at the bottom of a steep dip in Hadrian’s Wall, the 73-mile-long fortification built to mark the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Silhouetted against the sky, it is said to be the most photographed spot in Northumberland National Park.
