I was at the Xata offsite in Iceland and we came back from a day long trip to Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring area, Gullfoss waterfall and Langjökull Glacier
It was around 00:30ish in the night. There was Slack message on my phone from Ahmet. He @channel-ed that the northern lights are out there, followed by some photos by Yannis
I was working on DaSkrad, checked the message and instantly got up to open my room’s door
AND I couldn’t believe. There were these waves of green northern lights in the sky, almost flowing like waves do at the shore
It wasn’t as green as we see in most pictures, but it was visibly green and beautiful
It was rainy and cloud the whole day, and I had flight back to Berlin early next morning. So I didn’t have any expectations of seeing the lights, but dang!
Guess this is what they call being lucky :)
This was the first time I saw the northern lights
