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.

Just Above Ceiling Height by Roxanne Bouche' Overton

Just Above Ceiling Height

Looking barely down on a ceiling holding lamps in suspension is a perspective that gives a different view. Closing time leaves mostly darkness but they hadn't turned out these lights. The array forms a pattern that joins a ceiling sporting patterns of its own. Splashes of light illuminate just enough to show off details. Spots of other colors offer punctuation - a bit of added interest.

It's a diptych in appearance, even though it's been done in a single frame - either side could stand alone.
