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.

#WaterfallWednesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of the base of a waterfall. Falling water can be seen in the top left of the image, and there is an open channel with flowing water between two impressive ice walls. On the left, a few dark rocks are visible between the frozen areas but otherwise every surface is covered. The water has solidified into long fingers of cyan icicles and the tops have a deep coating of snow.

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.

The #aurora dances above Lómagnúpur mountain and the black sands of Skeiðarársandur - the largest outwash plain in the world - in south-eastern #Iceland.

#AuroraTuesday #NorthernLights #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a bleak landscape cut by water into stripes of channels. On the horizon is the dark silhouette of a craggy mountain. The sky above it is mostly clear but with some small clouds, and a few stars are visible. A bright green beam is just above the mountain, and more can be seen nearer to the viewer and higher in the sky. The ground surface is tinged slightly green by the brightness of the aurora.

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.

#MondayMotivation #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of mountains, with the top of a wide glacier visible between them. The foreground is a dark surface, and a car can be seen travelling into the frame from the left. The sky is overcast and some mist has gathered over the lower slopes, hiding large parts of the glacier tongues. Just left of top centre, a window has opened in the cloud and sunbeams are streaming through to illuminate the fog below.

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.

#SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a landscape containing a large body of water. The shores are green with vegetation and, on the nearest bank on the left of the shot, sheep can be seen lying in the grasses. A road winds away from left centre and towards the horizon. A promontory juts into the water and a few cottages are nestled upon it. The sky is summer cyan except for a few thin clouds. The water surface is reflecting this, apart from a small area where a breeze has ruffled the surface. Nearby, dots of birds can just be seen, and the float of a crab pot.

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.

Snæfell - the eponymous 'snow mountain' - volcano at the head of Lagarfljót, a huge elongated lake that drains into the sea in eastern #Iceland.

#SaturdayScenery #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a mountain under a sky filled with streaked cloud. The sunset has tinted this in strong shades of ochre, orange and yellow. A beard of cloud is streaming from the top of the volcano, and close inspection reveals a snow cap and patches of ice down the flanks. The foreground is a large body of water, picking up a small reflection of the colours above, and the humped outlines of hills on either shore. These are in darkening shades of 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.

#NorthernLights #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo taken at night, with many stars visible above a heavy grey cloud bank on the horizon. Below it, scattered lights of buildings dot the snow-covered ground. High in the sky is a gorgeous green block of light, partially hidden behind clouds. It twists and swirls in streaks and shafts, some almost vertical, some almost horizontal. At the lower edge, the green contains a hint of red and yellow.

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.

#TravelThursday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a water surface softly sunlit from the right, clean turquoise water with odd pieces of ice floating in it. Most of the shards are smoothly sculpted by being rolled in the water as they melted. Some are broken pieces, but even these have rounded edges. Some clear water is visible and a larger, central chunk has a small pool within its curves. Rings on the surface of the water show that it's raining gently. The ice and the water are all a gorgeous shade of cyan.
