This stunning time lapse was taken by ReykjavikPhoto at the beginning of February during a solar storm, a beautiful interplay between artist Ólafur Elíasson's light sequence in the building's light facade and a natural phenomenon of lights in the winter sky.

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, situated in the centre of Reykjavík, received the prestigious Mies Van der Rohe architectural award in 2014.
