Mark, I wish I had known you were so close, we could have made arrangements to meet.

Holiday Aurora borealis
Holiday Aurora borealis
I loved Mark Townley's aurora photos, but more remarkable, I was in Borgarnes, Iceland - just a few kilometers north of him. My family chose to meet in Iceland for the week of Christmas. I was up late every night hoping for aurora action without any luck until Christmas night. Then on the 26th it was even better. I will try to post a couple photos.
Mark, I wish I had known you were so close, we could have made arrangements to meet.

Re: Holiday Aurora borealis
I specially like the third one. It should be very impressive to be there looking at these aurora.

Re: Holiday Aurora borealis
Excellent shots! Crazy we were so close, we've been into Borgarnes most days since being here. Don't you just love the bakery by the causeway. I take it you're not there now?
