My Beady Eye.
A rather strange glow!
The Aurora is a very strange phenomenon that gives you very little warning that it's about to light up the night sky in a rather spectacular way.
An hour or so earlier that night we'd be treated to a fleeting glimpse of green dancing across the sky but that had soon faded along with our hopes of a getting a memorable photo.
So at midnight i trundled off to bed feeling slightly deflated that the famous Icelandic light show had been ever so meagre but now I realise patience is the key where the Aurora is concerned.
30 or so minutes had passed but as i lay on the bed trying to sleep I noticed the window behind the thin curtain had a strange glow about it.
With that I was up, I threw on a coat grabbed the camera and raced outside giving Dom a shout on the way.
Yep spectacular, amazing, jaw dropping - the sky bright green and full of dancing light in every direction. I'm so glad I didn't nod off to sleep!
