So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.

 

Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.

 

Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.

Located in the courtyard between blocks 10 & 11 the "Death Wall" was where an estimated 4500 people took their last breath. After being sentenced to death by a criminal court they would be led to the wall for their final moments. The windows facing the wall in blocks 10 and 11 boarded so the atrocities couldn't be witnessed by others awaiting "judgement".

A wild feral cat sunbathing on a beam at the top of the Acropolis! It was already in the 30's and turns out you do not want to pet wild cats...

If you knew what it took to forge all these poems, I'm not convinced that you'd still call them beautiful. Some come out on the first try, sure, but these ones are the most raw and are written in blood far before they are ever penned in ink.

Hummingbird Pulse, poem 100

There are numbers and letters carved into this pine, and the light reflecting off the tree was perfect.
