A photo motif I've had in mind for a long time is a Northern Lights over Vestrahorn in bright moonlight, reflected in the smooth waters of Stokksnes Lagoon. So far, every time I've been to this place, something has gone wrong - usually several factors at once. It was cloudy, there were no northern lights, there was no water in the lagoon, the water was too winded, the night was moonless and dark. Now a solar storm was announced and the night should be clear and windless in East Iceland. When I arrived I couldn't believe my luck: the lagoon actually lay there like a mirror! The spectacle also started relatively soon after my arrival, first everywhere - in the east and in the west, later even in the south and then the lights came straight down from above. An unbelievable spectacle, only above the Vestrahorn there were no northern lights. But after a few hours of taking pictures and being amazed, the lights finally danced where I wanted them to be.
