I’ve recently seen some nice aurora images on Facebook which motivated me to go back through some of my aurora images. Of course, that led my to images of Iceland from my trip there in December 2015. I’ve been fortunate enough to witness the aurora 6 times with three of those times happening during a week in Iceland. This image was on our first night in Iceland while we were staying near Vik. The lights were amazing as they danced overhead. Despite having photographed auroras in Yellowstone National Park, I wasn’t prepared for how spectacular they are this much farther north. We initially photographed from in front of our hotel but since the lights were staying active, we headed out into the countryside where our guide brought us to this location. An old abandoned farmhouse sat in the foreground but, while I did include it in some of my images, I preferred this one without it.
