Summer And Winter

Rjúkandi, a lovely and very accessible waterfall by the side of Route 1, the main ring road around the country.

Some mornings are different. It's like the world refuses to fully wake up. There aren't many people around, everything stays quiet. I love those mornings!

Another fresh image specifically for #WaterWednesday. It took some drive to find this spot since Gold Coast is scarce for nice rocks and rock platforms. I have always enjoyed #water action, whooshes and splashes.

I used Hoya ND8 for this shot.

Organ Pipes

Early March, an accumulation of massive icicles bathed by spray and covered in snow.

A heavy snowstorm has just passed, and Gullfoss - the "Golden Falls" - is heavily iced. Fed by Langjökull glacier, Hvítá - "White River" - plunges 11 metres (36 ft) over rocks to a central platform area before dropping another 21m (69ft) into a chasm.
This structure was on the eastern bank of the top cascade.

Skylight

Patiently we waited in the cold and blustery darkness, hoping that the clouds didn't increase, hoping that the forecast was accurate, hoping that we were lucky.
The green lady didn't disappoint us.

Sunbeams

A dreary July day in the south-east of #Iceland. It's been drizzling and raining and, at 19:30 as the sun was going down, some small breaks appeared in the clouds.

What seemed to be a fruitless day for photography was crowned by a lovely display of sunbeams, highlighting Vatnajökull and its glacier tongues, and piercing the ground level mists gathering around the peaks.

Flat Calm

The summer sky reflects in the near-mirror surface of the fjord. The soft breeze gently ruffles a few patches, but the water-birds are unperturbed.

Late August, Hvalfjörður in western #Iceland.

Snow Mountain Sunset

Mid-November, and by 16:30 the sun has set. The fading light splashes strong colour across the sky and reduces the shadows to shades of dark blue.

'Neath Clouds And Northern Lights

On a windy February night, we waited for the skies to clear and the show to begin.
The farm buildings of Grenivík provided some small ground level lights, while the stars danced a duet with the #aurora. Even the approaching snow clouds couldn't hide the beauty completely.

It only lasted for 2 minutes and I had to change the lens to my widest in the bag and just got one picture before it was only a little stripe rising from the ground. Yes it was a panic moment.

Clutter

Remnants of icebergs floating near the shore of the lake.

These exquisitely carved slivers of ice once fell as snowflakes,
which piled up atop a mountain,
which then became part of a glacier,
which calved into the water,
which the tides and the winds grounded here,
where it began to melt slowly
for me to find.

Diagonal

Strong sunlight cuts through the spray from a 14m/42.5ft drop, as the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river begins to bite deeper into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.

This lovely horseshoe extends ≈ 200m/656ft from the initial plunge to the last drop from the top of the rocks and into the river.

Storm Ashley was definitely making its presence felt over Derwent Water yesterday.
Swirls of water dancing on the surface as mini tornadoes formed and banks of haze over 30 feet tall being dragged across the lake as the wind rushed through Borrowdale and up towards Skiddaw.
The most brutal conditions I've ever shot in and some of the toughest light so here's a quick snippet. Compositionally poor, but the feeling of being there in the moment was astounding!

From The Plane

On an extraordinarily clear November day, we flew from Reykjavik in the west to Akureyri in the north of #Iceland.

¹6,500m above Langjökull, the ²1,400m mesa of Hrútfellsjökull looks like a fried egg. This dome will eventually feed the glacier tongues like the one at the bottom of the shot, which is actually west of the peak. There's a river winding through the snowfield on the lower right.

First Kiss

Early November, and the sun is rising at 09:45 in Húsavík on the north-eastern coast of #Iceland.

On the opposite side of Skjálfandi bay, the snowy east-facing Víknafjöll mountain range is collecting the first rays of dawn.

Overtaken

Travelling down the coast, we realised that we were being caught by a fog bank approaching rapidly from behind us. We parked in a lay-by and saw that the mist and cloud had already begun to shroud the coastline ahead, and we were in a pincer movement. We waited until the clouds were overhead and overtaking us to take this shot.

The pointed mountain is Mælifell (483m) in Múlaþing, eastern #Iceland.

Tongue Stuck Out

A glacial tongue of Vatnajökull and one of the most captivating places we've visited. A foggy day like this just increases the otherworldly beauty.

Svínafellsjökull in Skaftafell Nature Reserve, SE #Iceland. The dark patch on top of the ice on the opposite side is a landslip. Access to the sides has now been limited due to the shrinking glacier moving away from the edges and leaving them dangerously unsupported.

And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for burning
So don't you let that yearning
Pass you by"

All The Little Waterfalls

As we drove towards Öxi mountain pass in mid-August, cascades were dropping from the patches of slowly melting snow on the upper slopes.

I hosted an utterly fantastic photo walk this morning in Cannock Chase.
Yes the rain was torrential at times but it still gave us some superb images - those silver birch were just outstanding!
I think I will be doing another one at some point - watch this space for details!

A lovely sunrise greeted me at 7:30am when I opened the curtains today. Happy Friday!🌞

Six Volcanoes

Flying into Keflavík on a clear winter's day, we managed to capture this shot of the south coast of #Iceland and the cluster of volcanoes around Fjallabak.

Apologies for the quality - this is a phone shot as my camera was safely stowed for transport.

In the second image (the same photo) I've labelled the peaks.

Smaller Sibling

Often overlooked due to its proximity to Goðafoss, this neighbouring cascade has the same volume but is much narrower, forming an interesting chute.

The geology around it is particularly beautiful too, with basalt formations and rock arches. In winter, we've seen ptarmigan in these caves, white plumage obvious against the brown rock.

Tidal Race

This glacial lagoon is connected directly to the sea by a river channel. Twice a day, the tide refills it and then empties the excess back out into the ocean, refloating icebergs and taking them out to sea.

This process isn't a gentle flow, as you can see. I became fascinated by this chevron of surging water where the channel narrows to pass beneath the bridge.

Summertime Blues

Late August, and a beautiful day across the south coast of #iceland

We had said goodbye to Vatnajökull, we were flying home the following morning. The giant named Jarngrimur who lives on this mountain didn't seem to want us to leave.
It would've been rude not to stop for one last photo op.

A small waterfall drops from the eastern flank of Lómagnúpur to join Núpsvötn glacial outflow delta.
