On leaving Vik, the landscape slowly turned into even darker earth colours. A last glimpse of the church half way up in the mountains.
Just around the mountain ridge, the landscape opened up to the sea again.
A glacier river graced the crossroads. Mýrdalsjökull in low light.
Arriving at Seljalandsfoss, Vestmannaeyar just sat in my lens…again.
The sun setting over the faraway islands, almost made me forget the Bride’s veil, Seljalandsfoss, waiting for us on the mountain.
Fire on the left hand side – and ice on the other..
I do not understand how someone could have managed to get behind the falls this day – the icy path made us stay away from trying…But, as you can see, someone did.
I wonder what sort of shoes you must wear to manage this! Where is the path? This is the rail to the steps…
Windows capturing the last of the setting sun over Vestmannaeyar.
We slowly returned to Reykjavik, silent and very satisfied with this glorious day.

Stunning and magical. I’m loving this journey, via your photos, around such a beautiful country I will never be able to visit.
Pommepal, i always enjoy photos from your wonderful country – which I may never visit. We are lucky to have each other!
I agree, long live WP…
This is a beautiful series of shots Ann-Christine.
Thank you, Mary –
Fantastic photos, Ann Christine. The sky’s changing colours are amazing.
Truly a fabulous landscape and light – I’m so happy you like the shots!
Fantastic images, Ann-Christine. Just wonderful detail, lighting, composition. Did you use your DSLR camera?
Yes, My DSLR and two other cameras. Mostly the Nikon though. Wait til the Gullfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir photos…not that clear! The cold and the wind were devastating and we all just went out and ”clicked”. Some good enough ones, but not that many.
Well, so far your photos are great!

Fantastic photos ! The light is incredible ! I ❤ it
It is! Thank you!
Did you flatten your camera/phones batteries taking lots and lots of photographs this day? What amazing and breath-takingly different the Icelandic landscape is!!!
It really is!
🙂 Fascinating pictures! 🙂
Fascinating country!
Stunning display of beauty!
Iceland = Beauty incarnate
🙂 Really enjoyed the various scenes shown of Iceland and Greenland and Scandinavian areas the PBS documentary I watched on the Vikings – 🙂 I’m not even sure if I can find the right words to describe it – but ‘raw and real beauty’ come the closest – 🙂 Now, if only I were a photographer or artiste – I wouldn’t be grappling for a way to share the feelings of my heart when viewing such places – 🙂 But it’s okay, I have you to depend on to get it just right! 🙂
I like ”raw and real beauty” – I could use those words myself.
decided the words ”rugged” and ”pure” ought to be shoved in there somewhere, too – LOL – but have really enjoyed thinking about what words I’d put to it – as always – such quality time for me viewing your pics and sharing chats! You are much appreciated! 🙂
Love these beautiful images especially the last one!
Thank you – I’m glad you enjoy them!
It seems no amount of ice or lack of pathway will deter some people 😉 I found it challenging enough with just fall spray and muddy slipperiness Ann Christine !
You really enjoyed this visit didn’t you … your photos bring out the dark beauty of Iceland beautifully 🙂
😀 But those who were standing behind the falls never moved…I think they were completely frozen into the ground…
😀
Marvellous images, A-C!
Thank you, Sue! Forgot to put in links, but now they are there to click on and enlarge.
I’ll take a look….
I am soooo jealous of your journey!! A magic Island. You are so lucky!
Lena, I am lucky – so lucky this time. The magic wand of Iceland touched me!
Wow …amazing:)
Amazing country and landscape – so grateful for visiting in such gorgeous weather!
Fint guld du vaskade fram !
I’m loving this trip and that combination of warm and ice is great.
