Iceland

Had a pleasant week in Iceland and took a ton of photos. Some here...happy to hear comments and critique

Took a helicopter trip from Reykjavik to see the geothermal area nearby

A summary of Iceland in 1 photo. Waterfall, rocks, shed, horses and sheep

Wouldn't be Iceland without a glacier

Just missing the fire in the land of ice and...

Stunning contrast between black and white glacier and mossy mountain

And an ice cave (melting rapidly)

The famous Gullfoss (but slightly doctored)

It's all about the light

Wonderful series...

You didn't go round but stayed more or less in the Golden circle? Do see Diamond beach, Gullfoss and a few more locations we also visited.
We rented a 4x4 and did follow the Ringroad and took a few detours at some of the F roads. The only region we didn't cover was the Westfjords region
But yes nice set, from a very nice isle and country 😍👍

We do want to go back again😉

We went from Reykjavik round the South and returned to R. Only there 6 days...These are just a few of many pics. More to come if anyone's interested

Not sure I'd want to go back in summer and certainly not to the same area. Absolutely rammed with tourists. Mainly N American and Chinese and mainly in large groups

Plenty of real cameras seen. Mostly APS sized and mostly Nikon & Canon with a Sony a distant 3rd

That was our "issue" as well, many (not all) asian/chinese tourists were really annoying, trespassing closed areas and being rude.
And most do tend to stay in the Golden Circle area, when we went north (Hofn --> Eskifjorour --> Husavik--> Blonduos) it all became a lot better 😁
