Mountain Nebula

Aurora by Kleifarvatn, Iceland

Finally the sky cleared up here in Iceland after weeks of nonstop cloudy sky and rain. Luckily the Aurora showed up aswell.

 

The Aurora this night was really weird. At one point it was very faint straight overhead and it pulsated like a heart beat. It stayed up straight overhead for a few minutes and then slowly got lower until it fainted out. It was more like a cloud than a Aurora arch that I am used to see.

 

I managed to capture one shot wide enough with a mountain and this weird Aurora before it disappeared. Sometimes the 16mm are not wide enough for those Aurora shots. I really look forward when Canon comes with something that compares with the Nikon 14-24mm lens. If they dont I will have to try to fit that Nikon lens on my Canon
