NI woman photographs heart in the clouds ahead of thunderstorms

A Northern Ireland woman has spoken of how she captured a rare heart-shaped cloud formation with her iPhone from her garden, and it's not the first time she's captured the stunning shape.

Michelle Duffy, a 45-year-old artist, was delighted to capture the heart-shaped cloud formation in Garrison, Co Fermanagh. She shared her excitement saying: "I took it from my garden in Garrison, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland."

She said, "My thoughts were that looked very cool and, of course, I had to grab the phone to get a photo."

Describing the day's weather, Michelle added, "The sky was so blue and had been very clear and we were due thunderstorms later that day."

The sight brought joy to her day: "It just made me smile. So absolutely thrilled to see this beauty in the sky."

As the owner of Camlake Canvas gallery in Garrison, the unique cloud has inspired her creatively: "I'm definitely going to try to capture this one on canvas."

This isn't the first time Michelle has spotted such a phenomenon; she recalls another romantic sighting: "I captured a heart in the sunset a year or so ago over the Atlantic Ocean in Donegal."
