'Sub-Arctic Midnight, Keflavik (IS) - 45 min. to midnight' by Coldpix

Sub-Arctic Midnight, Keflavik (IS) - 45 min. to midnight, a photo by Coldpix on VACATION on Flickr.

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Mine's been great so far. Fabulous night out with the girls on Friday night. Dinner, dancing and cocktails! More relaxed day yesterday though - mainly due to the after effects of one cocktail too many. Whoops!

I love this photo because of the light. It was taken in Iceland at almost midnight. I can't imagine what it must be like to not get totally dark at night. I still find it rather exciting in summer when the sun doesn't set until about 10pm! Iceland is definitely a place that's on my 'to visit' list. I actually have a friend who lives there. Maybe I should turn up on her doorstep one day!

Hope you've been doing lots of fun things this weekend.

'Glacier Aurora - Jökulsárlón' by orvaratli

Glacier Aurora - Jökulsárlón, originally uploaded by orvaratli.

I was a bit dubious about posting something so stunning after my little nesting doll photo but I couldn't wait to share this with you. It's a photo of Aurora - or Northern Lights - that was taken in Iceland. I would so love to see this for myself. Hopefully one day I will and I might just take some photos as well!

I don't really need to tell you why I think this photo is so great. If you didn't know what the Northern Lights were you might be thinking this was taken on another planet and aliens are about to pop out from behind the rocks. Amazing photo of an amazing sight.
