Northern lights and Hellisheiði Geothermal Plant in full Moon, 7 December 2014

Northern Lights tonight. Good forecast but rather poor lights and a misty sky. The red color is light pollution from Reykjavik 60 km away.
In the last couple of days we have had temperatures below zero. The days are getting shorter and the river Ölfusá has begun to freeze. This photo is taken around 5 o’clock this afternoon and as you can see the sun is setting.
This photo is taken yesterday evening in the center of Selfoss. Usually you have to get out of town to get a good photo of the Northern Lights but these were bright enough despite the light pollution.
At 9 o’clock this morning the sun was coming up in the South East. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer and will continue to do so until around December 22.
The wind was blowing, shaping the clouds, and some mist in the sky from the eruption. –The beauty of it all just takes your breath away 🙂
This is the view to the north from my home on the bank of River Ölfusá.
On this clear and beautiful morning there is no sign of air pollution from the eruption in Bárðarbunga / Holuhraun.
