LIGHT OF MY LIFE (2017) < Previous | Next >
In preparation for my premier trip to Iceland in 2017, I found this location while browsing Google Maps - the horseshoe bend in the foreground caught my attention but to my surprise, the location in person was even more magical with the way the river flows towards the mountains in the background. This was also the first time I’d brought my girlfriend (now wife) along, so I really wanted this to be special.
Once we finally got there after an hour drive from our B&B, we crossed our fingers for the night sky we had envisioned. Although we didn’t know if it would be visible, the cherry on top was the visibility of the Aurora Borealis, which is essentially what attracted me to Iceland to begin with many years ago. For added adventure, not only was this well off the beaten path, but we stood on the grounds of the Keldur Turf House to capture this shot, with a few dozen sheep nestled for the night a mere hundred feet away, surely wondering what we were doing staring at the sky!
So there we sat in the wee hours, taking in the northern lights at one of the oldest houses in the world, discussing who and what may have come before us to see these (mostly) untouched lands. The expression on her face was priceless, and I have to admit myself, it was pretty magical to share the Northern Lights with the Light Of My Life.
Thank you for your support!
