Iceland has some of the most fantastic churches. They look even better under a night sky with the aurora dancing around.

With a little of your love,
I can retract
and backtrack
to here
and I'll try.
It's not forgiving,
it's now
I'm here
show me how
and I'll try
to give you a little of my love.

Ever feel like you can't breathe
then you wash over me
I need an escape
you're the light
don't stop, not tonight
and I'm never going to leave your side.

It can try to break you,
overbear and control
every inch of you gives in
then you pay for what others lack,
but your soul cries for more
when you focus the light
after opening your eyes
you see the stars up close.

This country is amazing.
Seeing landscapes with a fresh blanket of snow while the Northern Lights danced for 6 nights in a row definitely helped Iceland earn some extra bonus points.
Someday I hope to return...

Do you see her beauty
Slithering beneath a rock
Soaring over tree tops
Floating through the seas.
Tread ever so lightly
Or this will all be just a memory.

We spent our last night in the RV near Gullfoss. The winds that night reached about 40mph. We didn't shoot long because our fingertips and noses froze quickly, but we continued to shoot, while watching the aurora dance above us. This location was a bit of a challenge to photograph, but it was worth braving the temps.

Everyday
I close my eyes as I wake
and dream of a solitude
that this place creates.
With a single breath
in the back of my mind
you were there
a dancing flame
and the night was on fire.

While in Iceland, I saw my first aurora borealis. On this particular night, I sat for a few hours watching the lights dance in the sky. It was incredible and very much worth the frozen fingertips.
