I just had to join in the Friday Photo fun again, Amanda – Remote – my favorite place to be! But this Light house was the most remote one I have ever been to. I knew there was to stand an orange light house on the westernmost point of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, and talked my husband into driving there. I almost came to regret it – we drove for hours in the black lava fields on a Very Bumpy gravel road.
The Lighthouse was visible from afar, but we seemed never to get there…but finally!
This photography challenge is posted every Friday by
Amanda from Something to Ponder About, and
Snow from The Snow Melts Somewhere.

Striking and whoever had the silly idea to paint a lighthouse orange should be informed it looks lovely on a photo
😀 Glad you like it even if it is a silly idea! And yes – I liked it too!
That such a place exists makes me smile uncontrollably.
😀 ? I think you have to explain a bit…are you amused or chocked or just glad there is such a place in the world?
I am very glad there is such a place in the world.
♥ Then I am happy – there are at least two of us.
This photo was worth the journey. Does anyone live in the lighthouse?
No one lives there, no. I guess there once did though…poor man. I guess it must have been a man. Just think of the time it would take to go shopping. It must have been a day or two to get there before cars came.
Yes, one would need to be very self sufficient and comfortable with isolation.
You would.
Some folk think it strange that some of us are attracted to the remote areas be it coast or mountain….. but what can be better than to be on ones own or share with a very few these fantastic locations. Being honest I sometimes feel more remote…more alone, surround by folk in a city centre ! 🙂
I feel the same, David. And I guess there would be some more of us somewhere out there. Maybe more than we think. The loneliest people live in the big cities, I am sure.
Reallyl unique – and I mean that. Where else can you see the stark contrast of the ground with a lighthouse! Iceland never fails to impress. Thanks for joining in on Friendly Friday.
Thank you for hosting! No, Iceland never disappoints.
👍
The extraordinary scenery made that bumpy road worth your while!
I still think it did, yes!
It may be a long way away, but it’s quite bright and cheerful.

I still like it despite the trouble getting there…
An orange lighthouse is the first for me and the photograph fits the prompt to the T.
Glad you are OK with it!
The orange really stands out!
It does. I did not think it would really be that heavy orange – but it was.
Well worth the drive 🙂 Hope you weren’t shaken up too much Ann-Christine
My husband was rather ”sour” – he did not think much of it…I rather liked it though…but I did not drive the car ;-D
He probably thought of the damage the road was doing to the car and wheels
I think so too…and a waste of time…
Never a waste of time being with your beloved 🙂
😀
Impressive shades of colours! 🙂
It was! So unreal with that orange in all the black lava.
Indeed! I imagine how stunning it is among snow & ice.
