Today we headed to the harbor town of Stykkisholmur, one of the awesome areas in the Walter Mitty movie. First up was the little red light house overlooking the harbour, which was so darn cold we could barely take it but we did. We then went to lunch where everything was $20 - $30 USD so we decided that we were going to eat PBJ and chips for dinner at the cabin. We also went to visit the infamous Kirkufellsfoss waterfall, which is right down the road from where we are staying and goodness…so many tourists. We took photos tonight at the falls but not your typical photos. Then we went back to the cabin with the hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. It was basically our one and only opportunity and I feel beyond blessed. It was absolutely incredible. Honestly, I'm a bit beyond words but it looks like green clouds floating in random patterns through the night sky and on occasion, you get glimpses of purple and pink. I photographed the lights a lot but made sure to put my camera down to simply take it all in. I'm no expert in photographing the Northern Lights but I'm happy with what I captured. The series above took place when I decided to put my camera down and look up; all of a sudden, I saw not only the typical green of the Northern Lights, but awesome glimpses of purple. So I laid on the ground (probably in horse poop), held my breath with my camera on my chest and began photographing the lights about five seconds apart.
