2nd day on the Ring Road and it’s just wall-to-wall scenery. Today we did about 3.5hrs of driving from the south to the east. There’s lots to write about, but I’ll condense it to the highlights in photos:
The Northern Lights were an unexpected treat… Our accommodation is in the East of Iceland and in a small fishing village. Yesterday was our first day without much rain and lots of sunshine so with a clear sky, we ventured out. Lots of wishful thinking and “is that them?” and in the space of about 20 minutes, they revealed themselves. Just incredible!
It’s easy to get caught up in just going to places to take a photo of it and forget to actually take it in. Soph mentioned that yesterday and she’s right – it did feel like it became a bit of a photography contest. So we made a concerted effort to forget the camera as the lightshow presented itself and just take it in, be in the moment. The photos above are the after affects. Hopefully we’ll have lots more opportunity to take a photo of it in its full glory!
It’s probably the highlight of the trip so far – absolutely pumped we got to see them!!
