20241010 aurora ie oct24 8244xx In Knockbridge, the fairy tree stands illuminated against the backdrop of a clear night sky, with vibrant northern lights cascading overhead. The tree's branches stretch upward, their rugged outlines sharp under the soft glow of green and purple auroras. The lights seem to frame the ancient tree, creating a mystical atmosphere, while the ground is bathed in faint hues of the glowing sky. It's a scene that captures both the natural beauty of the auroras and the timeless presence of the fairy tree.
