#Aurora #Borealis are a common sight in #Iceland, but residents of the nation's capital Reykjavik got a special show #Wednesday night when the City Council switched off street lights for an hour to clear the view. Also known as the #NorthernLights, the beautiful ripples of color are a result of charged #particles hitting the #Earth's #atmosphere. ・・・
"Home Sweet Home" This just happened last night. Think it's safe to say that this was the most powerful auroras of the season by landslide , what a show! #iceland  @simona_br_photography | @beyondthelands
