It was my dream since I was a child. I knew that is something very unique, special and precious and it was my utmost goal and dream to see it. As a little girl I was aware that only very positive people with brilliant souls can achieve it. Because you must to travel to a incredibly happy and distant land to admire this divine spectacle of lights :)

And after living in Iceland for almost 4 weeks now, I have no doubt that this is my dream land and it is far better that I had imagined it to be!!! I just love Reykjavik, this colourful energetic town full of artistic and creative souls, surrounded by friendly elves and beautiful nature. Really love it! Ég elska þig Ísland!!! :)))
Just pure happiness, energy and calmness in one.

I am incredibly thankful for all these and much more!!! Of course, I keep remembering that true happiness come from our inner source. Here this source is more active inside me as I deeply feel to be in full harmony with this place. All is going well :)))
And coming back to the main subject.. Yes, I've seen the northern lights last September on the very last day of my stay in Iceland, just few hours before my flight back to Warsaw. My Icelandic friend took me to the mountains in the direction of tectonic rifts at Þingvellir where the probability to spot it was higher on that night and it worked out well!! Indeed, we spotted it! I could finally saw this magical phenomena!! It was like a long flickering yellow and greenish ribbon on the sky, not that much clear but visible enough to be sure that it was it!!!! :))) I didn't take any picture of it on that night thinking that there will be much more opportunities when I would move to Iceland for good.
And so here I am. Well... the solar activity was decreasing sharply last months and the weather is not that much typical for the Icelandic winter time, so in 2014 I haven't seen it yet. Even I woke up today very early at night to hunt for the northern lights. The sky was still covered with clouds so it was impossible to spot it on the sky although the solar activity was on the medium level (4 in 9-grade scale).
I was planning to tell you more about conditions to spot the northern lights but in the end I decided to leave it for the next episode. So I promise to tell you more when I finally see aurora borealis on the Icelandic sky.
I encourage you to see this short film about amazing Icelandic landscapes - Midnight sun in Iceland for a dessert and for music lovers: Bon Iver video clip for 'Holocene' that was shot in Iceland (that is indie-folk U.S. artist). Enjoy! :)
Sjáumst! (See you soon again at my blog!)
