I have finally seen The Northern Lights and it was a truly awesome experience, in the real sense of the word. It inspired awe and wonder. Extraordinary.
That was at the end of a long day, beginning with a walk around the fantastic Harpa opera house on the seafront, with a view of snow capped mountains across the bay.
Then we went off to explore Reykjavik on foot through the light snow and ended up at the Elfschool for 4 happy hours eating pancakes, drinking tea and listening to the school’s headmaster, Magnus Skarphedinsson, relating marvellous stories about the Icelandic elves and the people who have seen them.
On my last visit to Iceland, I had a very odd experience, seeing some strange sights. I drew what I had seen and blogged about it and I have just republished my original blog earlier today. Check it out if you want to see what I saw that time. I thought it might have been the Huldufolk ( Hidden People ) but the head of the Elf School thinks they might have been trolls. How cool is that?

It’s really great that you saw Northern Lights. The weather seems to be really great. Wonderful photos and perspectives from Harpa.
It was snowing the night before and cloudy and drizzly the night after. The timing was absolutely perfect
Loving these posts, sounds like you’re having a grand time, although you’re making me envious !
Oh it’s so wonderful. Back home now, though
Awesome, Rosie. I was lucky enough to see the lights out my back door about ten years ago! Amazing!
It’s an incredible experience
Congratulations…and thank you for the exciting images.Terry
Thanks Terry
Fantastic that you finally got to see the auroras. I found your ‘troll’ photo rather spooky – I’d only heard of the Icelandic hidden folk, never trolls.
I hadn’t heard of trolls here until yesterday, I was surprised by that.
Have a great trip Rosie 😀
Thanks Russell, going back home tomorrow but I will be back, Oh yes!
Wow! It’s on my bucket list to see the northern lights. And I’m off to read your post on Icelandic trolls. 🐱
