    Photographer Joe Capra captures Iceland’s midnight sun

    By Nadine Bells | Good News – Wed, 19 Oct, 2011

    This past June, photographer Joe Capra spent 17 days in Iceland, taking 38,000 photographs of "the most beautiful place on earth" as he traveled 2,900 miles solo, capturing the midnight sun.

    The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months near the Arctic and Antarctic circles during which the sun can be seen at the local midnight. The sun doesn't fully set, remaining visible for 24 hours a day.

    "Iceland is a landscape photographers paradise and playground, and should be number 1 on every photographers must visit list. Iceland during the Midnight Sun is in sort of a permanent state of sunset," Capra wrote.

        A best friend of mine went for a month and met a guy there. She ended up living there for over a yr and said it was the most beautiful place she ever visited and she has been everywhere.

      Breath taking video! Especially if you put it full screen, the video is so clear and gorgeous, sometimes I felt it was kind of 3D and it felt like you could actually step into the screen!

      I do not know the words to explain my first view of Iceland in hd ..it brought me to tears of joy because as x-farmers destroyed by b.s.e. my dreams of travelling some day were dashed, but this brought me to tears of joy I am the only sibling to not have any chance of travelling and this was magnificent..Thank you so very much ..I thought the Northwest terrotories were gorgeouse but wow! Try North east Alberta Canada in the cold clear nights when the aurora borialis is at its best..it could bring joy to your heart too!! :) :) :0 amazing!!

        I second that, Antoinette, about Northern Alberta -- I'm in the West, and the sky here is AMAZING! You wouldn't believe some of the photographs I've gotten of the evening sky from my balcony -- every colour you can imagine! We are definitely very lucky up here. :o)
