Fluidr / Sun Voyager sculpture under the Northern Lights in Raykjavik, Iceland by Insite Image

Sun Voyager sculpture in Raykjavik, Iceland with the Northern Lights & Mount Esja.

We visited Iceland after Christmas. Unfortunately, it rained and was cloudy most of the time. The skies were finally clear our last night so we walked to Shore Walk and Fiskislóð and saw them a bit. I then went out very late (or is 2am very early?) to try capture a shot of Sun Voyager. Fortunately, the slim band we saw earlier was in a good spot with the sculpture. The sculpture is right next to a bright road so I only saw Mount Esja & the aurora on the LCD. I brightened both of them in post and sharpened the stars big-time since it was so clear. Need to visit Iceland again sometime (I'm thinking a self-drive photo trip in October? Thoughts on that idea anyone?). We did visit many great sites and I'm happy to have a keeper of Sun Voyager.
