The coldest day so far
It was very cold today, the coldest day this winter. The temperature was -12°C this morning and 10 cm of snow. The Ölfusá River started to freeze. Now it’s only daylight for perhaps five hours.
This picture was taken at 14:30 in poor daylight.
Christmas Snow
Aurora Borealis
Aurora borealis
Northern Lights tonight. Good forecast but rather poor lights and a misty sky. The red color is light pollution from Reykjavik 60 km away.
Frosty river
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.
Northern Lights over Selfoss
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.
Morning glow
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 🙂
Winter is coming
It’s been snowing today and tonight there’s a storm with temperatures below zero. I think winter is coming.
