An amateur photographer captured this amazing picture of the Milky Way as it lights up the night sky above a lighthouse.
Dad-of-two Peter Ribbeck, 50, snapped the picture at Turnberry Lighthouse, South Ayrshire, after waiting for the perfect darkness. He had to climb down onto the shoreside rocks in the dark to get the right angle showing the Milky Way rising behind the lighthouse.
Peter, who works at a yacht marina, waited until 11.30pm to get the shot, which he captured while standing on a rock with his tripod as the waves lapped around his feet.
