Description

When seeing pictures of the northern lights remember that the camera makes them brighter than they are seen with the bare eye :D I guess that ruins the beauty of them though =P.
Just so you have an idea: at that moment I could hardly see that there was snow on that mountain and definitely couldn't recognize a single piece of gras in front of me. But never the less the northern lights still remain a beautiful sight and during times of extreme sun activity can get very bright even seen with the bare eye =).

And btw the reason the stars are not clear dots but little lines is due to the rotation of the earth which can be visible even within the 20sec I took that picture. They 'make a circle' around the northern star which is not on the picture but somewhere off to the top left.

Coast of Reykjavík, Iceland.

You sure do cram in nice detailed info now and then in the discreption :D
I think this one is realy nice - my next fav is the one with the "the boat who ruined the photo with it's bright light" - wich I did mention there,I don't think it did XD

I still think this ones pretty neat as it look so peacefull and serene,
allmost sureal *or how that is spelled hmm*
like it would be 3D-ish instead of realism : D

plain beutifull,I'd say :D
