"It's Written in the Stars," Kjosarsysla, Iceland
Photographer: Lárus Sigurðarson, Reykjavik, Iceland
Details: Canon 5D and a 24mm 1.4L Canon Lens; exposure 20 seconds; f/2; ISO 1600
Getting the Shot: Well you know the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side
of the fence," right? Here in Iceland the borealis is pretty common
from late September to early April so if you just bother going out
night after night, you are bound to eventually stumble upon some to
photograph. Only trouble really is having patience, a lot of nights are spent not
seeing any borealis. That and making sure to have something else but
borealis in the shot, like an interesting foreground.
We like how Larus captured several shooting stars in the midst of the colorful sky. Have you got a photo that is worthy of Global Eye? Add it to our Flickr pool. And got some love for IT writer Katie? Vote for her essay on Reykjavik over at Gridskipper.

Speaking of Iceland, just wanted pass along the link to a new travel meets design "regional roundup" column I started on design*sponge. The first location I'm focusing on is Iceland. Post one is up, and two more to follow, before moving on to another place :)
