If there is one old dream that has been part of me like for ever, that’s the one: being a witness in real life of an aurora borealis. And meanwhile, the color becomes magic…

One evening, deep inside of Iceland. In a secret place, where only wolves dance with the stars. I’m wandering, a sled dog by my side, a thermos filled with mulled wine. Whatever takes, it’s winter and I may be well covered, however, I like to be cautious. Here I am, hidden under the skin of a native, close to nature and its fantastic creatures.

Togo, always by my side from now on and I love it, starts to follow the wolves and howls a dialect, obviously unknown to me. Funny enough, I’m not afraid, even when the wolf cries seem to come closer. Or maybe I’m just being reckless. No, it cannot be the effects of mulled wine yet, I still haven’t opened the thermos. And while I’m at it, where is it? Ah, there it is, and off I go, straight into the throat!

The show is long to come. True, it’s quite chilly out there … I add a blanket on my shoulders. Standing still, waiting in the darkest night I have ever experienced. The wind comes up. Nestling against Togo, looking for warmth and comfort, my eyelids become heavy, my eyes close intermittently. I can’t stand it anymore, I fall asleep completely when … Togo revives me by licking my face. I then raise my head and there, under my awake and dazzled eyes, the show has already started…

It’s an enchantment of blue, yellow, green. I am amazed like a child on Christmas Eve. I stuck my eyes in Togo’s, just to be sure it’s not a waking dream. Everything is there, real, alive and bewitching. I’m in paradise, my enthusiasm wins the husky which starts to turn around me, barking. By the way, the wolves are silent. They have probably moved away. It’s good news. Heavenly visions are intensifying. The colors are more and more vivid, cut out, alive. The rhythm goes crazy, out of control. I feel like I’m losing my mind…

Suddenly, I open my eyes, it’s daylight, I’m at home, on my sofa, I fell asleep …
