Mo's Iceland photos

Áróra

In Norse mythology the #aurora were the armour and weapons of the Valkyrie. The word is derived from Old Norse Valkyrja ("Chooser of the Slain") who guide the souls of the battle-slain to Odin's hall Valhalla.

In Finland, a fox was thought to have created the aurora, its bushy tail throwing sparks into the sky.

Scottish legend refers to the lights as “Merry Dancers” engaged in battle.

A colour photo of a dark and starry sky filled with the Northern Lights. Stars can be seen across the top, and the foreground is a roadside barrier in silhouette, but the rest of the shot is filled by a wedge of Aurora Borealis extending from the lower left to the top right. The bright green loops are almost concentric, with the centre being off the right side of the shot. Above the arcs are subtle spikes of green extending upwards. It's very beautiful.
