Stillness

"With those clear rays which she infused on me
That beauty am I bless'd with which you see."
- #ShakespeareSunday, Henry VI, Part I

If this had been a gorgeous sunny day, the reflections wouldn't have been so lovely, or so interesting.

With my back to Dynjandi, I'm looking out across Dynjandisvogur inlet and then Arnarfjörður fjord.

A colour photo of a fjord with mountains on either side. The foreground is the water's edge, a rocky outcrop with autumnal grasses over it. The water is ruffled by a breeze, but is reflecting the mountains. There are a few birds on the surface on the right. The peaks level out at the mouth of the fjord, coming down to meet the water. The sky is grey and overcast but with a few thinner patches, so that clear sky can almost be seen.

Near Sunset

The lowering sun is highlighting the wrinkles in the face of the old mountain.

In the distance, a sleeping volcano waits for the next eruption. All quiet now.

A colour photo of a moss-clad mountainside in low sunlight from the left and behind the viewpoint. The foreground is birch shrubs, close to the ground and in autumnal colours. In the distance is a snow-capped mountain, actually a volcano. The sky 50% clear with some fluffy cloud.

Splash

Many intelligent creatures play, when hunger is satisfied they look for pastimes.

These beautiful animals were racing each other through the water, their sleek bodies leaping and, instead of the simple "surface and breath" behaviour, they were making splashes.

Surely, they were doing it for fun?

#MeerMittwoch #OceanWednesday #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A colour photo of a stretch of sea under a cerulean sky with some fluffy cloud. The water surface reflects the colour of the sky, a deep sapphire blue. In the distance is a range of impressive mountains, well defined in the clear air and sunlit from the left. In the centre of the shot is a line of white water splashes and close inspection reveals the backs and fins of aquatic animals creating the spray by leaping.

Sunshine Rainstorm

Across the fjord, heavy rain is falling over the farmland.

Sunbeams streaming through the showers highlight the drops all the way to the ground.

It's a day of rainbows, but not at this moment.

Krossanesfjall (716m/2349ft) in Múlaþing, south-eastern #Iceland.

#TravelTuesday #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography #Photography

A colour photo of a seascape with the curves of a hazy mountain range in the distance. The outline of the seashore has been picked out by sunlight striking through a rain shower. A few buildings are just visible. Low cloud is being highlighted by the sunbeams, as well as the soft random fall of rain. It's very beautiful.
