Tales From The Riverbank

Mid-February, and a gorgeous day for following the river as far as we can through the snow-drifts. The main roads have been cleared and the conditions are good albeit with temperatures well below zero C.

Fnjóskadalur, an agricultural valley in Þingeyjarsveit north-eastern #Iceland. Fnjóská, a popular salmon angling river and the longest spring-fed river in Iceland, runs through it.

A photo of a snow scene with a river curving through the foreground. A range of mountains fills the horizon and disappears into a valley behind another foreground peak at centre right. The sky above has scattered cloud but is deep cold blue and cyan. The sunlight is from the right. The snow lying on every surface is completely untrammelled.
A photo of a snow scene, and the same river except this time in close-up. The untouched snow on the riverbanks is shining and silky, long shadows are being thrown from the right by strong sunlight. A line of mountains on the horizon has a cloud-bank above it. The river water is dark and has large areas completely frozen, most of which are also covered in snow.
A photo of a snow scene, under a cloudy but blue sky. The horizon is hilly and a farm building in the centre right lends scale. The foreground is a smooth snow-field, its surface slightly pitted and with dark areas of rock showing through. On the right, in a depression, part of the river is visible as a few slightly thawed patches next to a frozen and snowed-over surface. The end is a river bank so this would be a pool when thawed.
A photo of a snow scene but, this time, from further away from the river so that its surface can't be seen. The horizon is obscured by large mountainsides and only a small window of blue sky is visible top left. The foreground is a fenced field. Between this and the mountains are beautifully sculpted silken snowdrifts, lit from almost directly behind the viewpoint. The snow is clean and untouched, shadows on its surface are the only sign that it's folded into gorgeous convoluted pleats.

The Bonny, Bonny Banks

Mid-July, and the #Scottish woodlands are gloriously green. The high mountain crags are showing their rocky teeth, and a lovely waterfall drops between the trees.

Loch Lomond (Loch Laomainn in Sc. Gaelic) is a freshwater loch which is considered the boundary between the lowlands of Central #Scotland and the Highlands.

#ForestFriday #LochLomond #DailyPhoto #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a heavily wooded mountainside, the upper slopes are green with grasses and more scattered trees. Dappled sunlight from the left is playing across the contours, but the sky is out of shot. At centre right, a waterfall can be seen between the trees. Just above it and nearer to the centre, bare rock is visible. Down at the still waterline is a cluster of buildings and another, smaller one, to its right and nearer the centre. In the foreground is an out-of-focus tree branch covered in green leaves.

After the snow - Bamburgh

My original plans for this morning was to head to the coast to get a sunrise photo at Dunstanburgh Castle. After driving through a snowstorm for about 20 mins I realised my plans weren't going to work out.

I decided to head further north to get to the otherside of the snow, I thought Bamburgh would be a good location.

From what I originally planned, this photo is a polar opposite. 😀

A photo taken in the blue hour, just before sunrise. In the foreground a beach hut and bench are covered in snow. Beyond this rocks give way to breaking waves and the beach. To the right of the beach a castle stands on a hill with lights visible in the early morning gloom. on the horizon an island is visible with a single light from the Farne (island) Lighthouse.

Today is #wednesday and it means I'm posting some #water. Just like most other days. I find it very exciting to look for compositions without any solid objects, like rocks or cliffs. Just by using the fleeting ephemeral beauty of the waves.

Volcanic waters

Mid-March, and Seljalandsfoss is still dropping from Eyjafjallajökull even though the temperature has been consistently below zero C for days.

Near the left side is Gljúfrabúi, the waterfall behind a large boulder and within a canyon.

#WaterfallWednesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A winter photo of a mountainside of dark rock covered in ice. The foreground is withered brown vegetation dotted with snow. Near the base of the cliffside, the rockface abruptly flattens into a vertical face, it's foot debris-strewn. Three waterfalls can be seen; on the left is the top of a cascade but the base is hidden, left of centre is a small cascade, and near the centre is an impressive horsetail falls.

Sunset Serenity

Beautiful Beauly Firth, near Inverness in north-eastern #Scotland at 9pm on a lovely July day.

In the distance is Ben Wyvis (meaning "Awesome Mountain"), topped by Glas Leathad Mòr, a Munro of 1046 metres/3432 feet.

A photo of a wide lake under a cyan sky, with scattered and puffy clouds which the sunset is tinting to shades of peach and pink. On the horizon is a line of dark mountains, the foreground is the lake's gravelly edge. The slightly ruffled water is reflecting the sky, and a bird is flying away at eye level. It's calm and serene.

#MountainsMonday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a mountaintop under a cloudy sky with large cyan patches. There's strong sunlight from the right. The foreground is uneven and dark rock ridges, bare of snow and ice but with unusual vertical fingers of rock sticking up from the edge. Behind this is a wide expanse of cracked and sculpted ice, clean and white with blue shadows. In the centre of the shot is the pinnacle. On the right it is an unusual twin stump of rock, almost like a small butte with a distinct ridge running away from it. On the left is a humped mound, and this appears to be the highest point.

Summer Stillness

Stopping at the roadside to enjoy the tranquillity; the soft breeze rippling the water, the sound of distant birds, the wildflowers in the muddy meadows.

A photo of a landscape containing a large body of water. The foreground is a grey dirt road through dark grassland, puddles of standing rainwater are dotted throughout. Beyond that is the shining water of a huge fjord beneath a lightly clouded cyan sky. Heavier cloud is visible on the horizon, just above distant misty mountains.

#introduction
Hey everyone!

Mo here, onward and upwards as is always the hope and desire.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny living in #Scotland, with an #Iceland photography obsession. I used to do games graphics many moons ago. I love weather photography, long slow walks getting slower due to stuff, my wonderful sons and my lovely patient partner.

Here's a drop-dead gorgeous shot to start this. Lómagnúpur in southern #Iceland.

A photo of a beautiful mountaintop draped in misty cloud. Below, in the foreground, are scarves of mist above a dark ground surface. The peak of the mountain is peeking out between layers of vapour -above is a glorious crown of lenticular clouds tinted by the sunset into shades of orange, peach and grey. The sky above is clearing to cyan.

Liquid Refreshment

February, and this gorgeous waterfall with its turquoise water and the surrounding black basalt column teeth is a true jewel of nature. The drive and hike were long and difficult but worth every step through knee-deep snow to reach this beauty.

#WaterfallWednesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a horsetail waterfall on the left of a frozen landscape. The water in the pool below the chute is turquoise and foam is churning across the surface. The cascade is surrounded by near vertical columns of black basalt, and the white ice between them is highlighting the joints in the structure. Around the base, the spray has created large blocks of cyan ice capped with snow. The crest of the cascade is over-topped by a delicate arch of ice, and the river feeding the falls can be seen at the top left to centre of the shot.

Early Flight

A storm was brewing and this would be the only chance to bring in surface mail and essentials before the strong winds took hold of the entire area. It was already gusting strongly. Watching the pilots complete this landing on a small airstrip surrounded by the water of Pollurinn was tense, to say the least.

A photo of a cloudy sky with snow-capped mountains in the lower part of the shot. In the top right quarter is a small aircraft, two propellers are visible. The clouds behind it are lit by the rising sun with tones of orange and yellow, and there is heavier and darker cloud behind it but most of the sky is quite clear. The mountain tops are displaying spindrift snow from the summits, a sign of strong winds.

🤯 #Autumn #LesPyreneesCestMoche #landscapephotography
The view on Cirque du Litor from the road from Arbeost to Col du Soulor, today. A wide valley of green, red, and golden colors of prairies and trees, cliffs split by the road between soulor and aubisque, and the grand Gabizos peak tearing out cloud, some blue sky. Very intense, magical colors and lightning.

Queen Of Icelandic Mountains

This is Herðubreið, literally "broad-shouldered," a steep-sided volcano formed when lava erupted through thick ice.
Tuyas like this are rare worldwide, only found in areas covered by glaciers and with active volcanism at the same time.

At 1,682 meters (5518’) Herðubreið is the 6th tallest peak in Iceland and is called the "national mountain."

#FarAwayFriday #DailyPhoto #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a landscape under a clear sky. The foreground is withered brown grassland, patches of hard frost are visible in the deep shadows. In the distance is an unusual mountain. It has a pointed summit which tapers slightly to form a table top. From there the shoulders of the peak are steep, gradually widening in a soft curve to ground level. There's a tuft of bearded cloud sitting on the top. Other mountains can be seen in the distance, fading with tonal perspective in the deep cold. It's very beautiful.

Uninhabited

Across the fjord is Iceland's northernmost peninsula which has been protected as Hornstrandir Nature Reserve since 1975, haven for Arctic fox and sea-birds. With a strong sense of remoteness, lack of infrastructure and unmatched tranquillity, to simply stand and be is a feast for the senses.

Blue Shadows

Mid-February and another lovely cold but clear day in north-western #iceland

This is Reykjafoss at just after midday, the sunlight almost from the south hardly warming its frozen cascades.

A beautiful and peaceful place.

When I took this shot it was my partner's birthday and mine would be tomorrow, so we're celebrating our special days with a long and relaxed holiday driving around Iceland.

#WaterfallWednesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a landscape. In the centre of the shot is a pretty waterfall with multiple small drops, most of them seemingly completely frozen. In reality the water is still flowing beneath the ice but that isn't apparent from this shot. The surrounding rock surface is honey-coloured, the vegetation is brown and withered and the horizontal surfaces are covered in snow. The low light from the left is casting long shadows across the falls making the water and ice seem blue, and the brown rock almost black.

Red Sky At Night...

September 2014, and the Holuhraun eruption of Bárðarbunga is well under way. We stopped for the night at a farm to the south of Vatnajökull glacier, and the eruption plume filled the sky.

At 18:45 when the sun set, the afterglow caused by volcanic ejecta - oxides of sulphur and thin clouds of tiny sulphuric acid droplets lofted into the stratosphere - yielded lurid but beautiful colours.

#TravelTuesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a mountain range, with the surface of a glacier smoothing the areas between the peaks. Three ice tongues can be seen dropping to ground level. The foreground is brown vegetation and farm fences. The sky is full of odd streaked shapes, not quite cloud as you would expect to see it but vog from an eruption. This gas and vapour is being coloured by the sunset to strong orange and bluish-grey, while the horizon line to the left is a bright yellow patch and to the right is a strangely layered orange and grey region. It's quite otherworldly.

A snow scene, viewed from inside a car on an icy road that is about to crest a small hill. There's a fence line following the side of the road for a short distance and on the left is a rocky hillside. Both sides of the road are lined by tall snow-poles. The sky is grey and full of heavy cloud, but there is sunlight from the left of the shot. Ahead are two prominent mountain peaks with a long glacial valley curving down, with a water-cut gorge between them. It almost looks as if the road continues over the hill and up the side of the mountain.

Based on more messages on social media, people were just as overwhelmed as I was… Those colours are absolutely amazing😍

The white lights on the right of the church are a group photographers in the wild. 😃 I found out that you can approach them and they are really friendly.

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.
