V-Shaped Aurora - Northern Lights at Reykjanes, Iceland

I think I / We need to add this to our 'Must Visit' list - Simply stunning.

The Aurora was unusually spread this night, appearing in almost every direction in the sky. Usually one can only shoot Aurora in one direction and usually to the north here in Iceland. This night was luxurious as I could shoot into almost any direction.

The Orange glow is the lights from Reykjavík and the neighboring downs just 10 away. Some consider light pollution as unwanted in images but in some cases the add interest. Here I feel like they added interest as it brakes up the otherwise almost monochrome colors from the Aurora.
