We lost a day, which given the state of my back was not really a loss to me, as it poured with rain for nearly a whole night and most of the next day. We stayed in the Skyrhusid Centre near Hali and did some Lightroom work on the images we’d already taken. The next […]
Another night of cloud, and rain, and no Northern Lights!!! Bach to the ice beach at Jokulsarlon, and a couple of hours playing with the waves, the blocks of ice (which moved) at the same time as trying to keep dry and not fall over as you raced backwards and forwards on the beach. The
An early start saw us at Dyrhólaey, looking across Reynisfjara Beach towards Reynisdranger as the sun came up. The sea was wild, the wind was strong, and the rain was never far away. Returning to Vik, we went back to the hill above the church and I took these two shots of the graveyard. We
