A Northumberland photographer has snapped a series of stunning photographs of shooting stars above one of the North East's most iconic settings.
Wil Cheung, the resident stargazer at the Twice Brewed Inn in Northumberland National Park, captured the images at Sycamore Gap during the Geminids Meteor Shower earlier this month. It is not the first time he's photographed a shooting star, after he captured a one in a million family photo in March this year.
With a good forecast predicted during the Geminids Meteor Shower, Wil decided to brave freezing temperatures on Hadrian's Wall in an attempt to achieve a years-long ambition of capturing a shooting star over the famous tree. When the skies are clear on December 13 and 14, when he visited, the Geminids can produce more than 120 shooting stars an hour.
