This picture captures an impressive scene in Iceland: The former cultural centre Straumur stands isolated under a clear night sky. The windows are warmly lit, but the real protagonists of the picture dance above them - the Northern Lights. In bright green and delicate transitions, they sweep across the sky in curved paths, lending the scene an almost unearthly effect.
The scenery is reflected completely calmly in a neighbouring body of water, which looks like a natural mirror. The house, trees and the light trails of the aurora borealis appear in perfect symmetry on the smooth surface of the water. The foreground remains calm and earthy - with moss-covered rocks, grass and gentle shorelines - while above, the spectacle of light and colour draws the eye upwards.
Despite its luminous appearance, the picture radiates a deep calm. It is a composition of stillness, nature and cosmic movement - a scene that seems as if time has come to a standstill for a moment. A rare interplay of earthly security and celestial spectacle.
