A Night Sky full of Stars at Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, UK

---

This is Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast in the UK. This is a long exposure night photograph I took to capture the movement of the stars across the night sky. The earths rotation causes all stars to trail around Polaris (the north star) creating a swirly effect. This image took around 45 minutes.
