Northern Lights over Reykjavik

Tonight I was lucky enough to see amazing red and green Northern Lights, by far the best I've ever seen. I saw something about them being outside online and went and told my housemate Tobias. We realised they were getting strong very quickly so he drove us to the lighthouse right at the end of the peninsula Reykjavik is on, where it is much darker than the rest of the city. We got there just in time as they quickly became incredibly strong and then got much weaker again.

I finally managed to get some reasonably good photos but with my poor photographic knowledge, and only a rock to use as a tripod they've come out too blurry and grainy. It's also not possible to take a photo which shows just how much they filled the whole sky. What an amazing sight!


Is it a ghost to the left? No, it's Tobias.
