Hvítserkur Aurora at Dusk - a photo on Flickriver

            Not 100% satisfied with my earlier upload from Hvítserkur. Processed on a lousy laptop, I´m not deleting that one as a reminder not to process on this laptop again. So here is another picture taken at a similar time like I intended it to be.   

This evening 17th March was a very special due to the sunbursts at the 15th of March. So you had extreme activity to work with even if it was not totally dark yet. 

Hvítserkur is a 15 meters high cliff that protrudes out of the sea in the western part of the Huna Bay near the coast. The sea erosion has carved holes through its foundations and sculptured it in the unique shape it is today. Some say it is in the shape of a rhino drinking from the sea others see a dinosaur. Legend has it that Hvítserkur was a troll who did not make it back home in time to retreat from the coming daylight and so was turned to stone at sunrise . Hvítserkur translates to white shirt and probably gets its name from white bird guano.
