The Observer

    Me, Siggi (the model) and Haukur Jó went shooting Aurora like any serious photographer in Iceland did last Saturday. The combination of clear skies, snowy foreground and highly active Aurora is a rare thing in Iceland but it makes a great shot.

    Taken on Mosfellsheiði, between Reykjavík and Þingvellir.
