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

The Northern Lights - Rishi Mohan

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
