During my Icelandic journey, I pursued a photographic dream. That evening, nestled in the Skogafoss region, my aim was to capture the ethereal arch of the winter Milky Way, with fingers crossed for the appearance of the elusive Aurora Borealis.

Miraculously, it unfolded just as I hoped. The emerald glow of the Aurora and the Milky Way converged in a breathtaking display, seemingly choreographed by nature herself.

The result? An awe-inspiring panorama stitched together from eleven vertical shots.
