THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
These are some lame attempts to get on camera what was for me a dream, an obsession come true. Since arriving in Iceland three weeks ago I’ve been checking this site every day, and it was always a low forecast until two days ago when it suddenly said Extreme. And finally last night after a lot of staring at the night sky and wondering if those funny white streaks were clouds or the aurora, it appeared… And it was magic. They’re quite tricky and you have to be outside at the perfect time, looking at the right place in the sky, and they only lasted for seconds. But for the next few hours I could see green shadows behind the clouds, and later an even stronger one streaked through the whole sky and green, white, and pink lights waved with each gust of wind. It was freezing and my face was numb but I was so happy I thought I could just dissolve and get swept away with them right then and there.
