Happy Thankful Thursday!
This post is a little backwards, I am starting off with a tour on the morning of Sept 4th and ending with an evening photo from Sept 3rd. I wanted to mention the temperatures while we were in Iceland, every day it was in the mid 50's-60's°. When the sun was out it actually felt warm. It was cold at night, in the mid 40's.
Sept 4th, we took the Golden Circle tour, we stopped at the Geysir Geothermal Area, next was the Gullfoss waterfall and last we went to the Thingvellir Nat'l Park.
This Geysir Park is a smaller version of Yellowstone Nat'l Park in the USA. We had some drizzle off and on during this day, mostly just cloudy skies.
I could feel the spray from this waterfall from my high up view point.
The last stop was at the Thingvellir National Park, this park is where we watched the Northern Lights the night before. The park is located in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American Tectonic Plates separate.
We had some drizzle during the day but heading back to the hotel I saw a rainbow from the bus.
Sept 3rd, after an all day tour we had a Northern Lights tour booked for that night. We were picked up 9:30 pm at the hotel and driven outside the city to a nearby national park. We watched the Northern Lights for about an hour, it took me awhile to adjust my camera to catch the colors of the Northern Lights. Below is the best I could do, the lights went across the sky in an arch almost like a rainbow. The bottom right light is a vehicle parked selling hot chocolate and waffles.
I am thankful to see the Northern Lights, both on the plane to Iceland and at the park in Iceland. There is no guarantee to see the Northern Lights, again we were lucky. They are an amazing sight to see.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
