The Dancing Skies by Lizzy Gadd

This particular night from a few weeks ago in Iceland was the first time I had ever seen the northern lights flare up so brightly and dance across the entire sky for hours. It was so unreal all I could do between snapping photos was stare up at the sky and laugh and cry. After the first hour or so of shooting I put the camera down and wandered all around the landscape for a couple hours by only the light of the aurora, singing and dancing (quite terribly I’m sure) and really not having a care in the world, just simply enjoying the surreal experience of wandering through such a strange, quiet and empty landscape with a sky so alive right above me. It was a little weird and exciting and terrifying and beautiful all at once. I can still hardly believe this can be real.
