with recent talk about the northern lights on the Inis Owen peninsula in Donegal in mind I thought I would post a picture of the Aurora Borealis as seen last week by myself and a bunch of very giddy friends up in the Western Fjords of Iceland. It was a spectacular display, full of different colours and it danced and waved across the sky for over 2 hours. The moon even played a minor role too. A night to remember!
You’re back!
This is amazing, I have been checking my aurora app and noticed that Iceland is pretty much under it all the time. Can’t wait to hear and see all about it!
Fantastic picture, in they eyes of the beholder. I myself come from Iceland, so you could say this was daily bread for a local inhabitant like me. But I like your earlier pictures from Iceland, keep up the good work.
Your pic is so beautiful that I’m stuck to admire it !
Wonderful, lucky you and you had plenty of time to get a good shot!
Yowza! What a stunning shot!
Wow….
Wonderful
Gorgeous image Brian! Would you believe the northern lights were actually visible as far south as north county Dublin earlier this week. They were nothing like this but strong enough considering how far away it is.
Gorgeous capture!
Wow! What a thrill. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous moment!
Stunning Stunning,Stunning, A magic photo, I just love it. Isn’t nature a wonderful thing.
Cheers Callie
OMG what a fantastic capture … a once in a life time moment. You certainly made the most of it and I’m so pleased to hear that you and your friends were giddy in the viewing. I have a vision of it framed and hanging on a prominent wall.
Brian… this is too good… would love to have been there. I will just live through your fantastic catch. By the way how cold was it???
Hi Mike, it wasn’t that cold, some days though we had a lot of wind and that was bitter cold!
Spectacular! Does this happen all the time in Ireland? The few times I’ve seen northern lights, it’s been a barely visible shimmer in the night sky.
This picture is so beautiful. I’m hoping to go to Iceland in March. If I get to see something even half this spectacular, I’ll be happy.
