I’d be willing to place a small bet this is the longest hopscotch course in the world. I took this photo around mid-night this time last year in Reykjavik Iceland. This was one of those nights I’d get MJ back to our hotel room and go back out taking photographs by myself.
Skagafjörður
Yesterday I posted a photo from an Icelandic turf church. That photo was taken a few miles down the road from the hotel (Hofsstaðir Guesthouse) we used. Behind the hotel is a beautiful valley and fjord called Skagafjörður. I took this photo the morning we checked out looking over Skagafjörður.
Hvitserkur
I know this is just a rock formation sticking out of the water, but this was a “must see” on our recent trip to Iceland. It’s one of those iconic spots that everyone goes to see, photograph and post on IG. I’ve been watching people post photos from this spot since before our first Iceland trip back in 2013. We didn’t make it to this location on that trip, so it was a “must see” this time.
I was a little worried about feeling let down due to the anticipation, but honestly it was great. I enjoyed the visit, which included a small hike, climb down (and back up) the cliff and our time down at beach photographing it. Plus MJ and I did this on our 32nd wedding anniversary….. Great day even though the detour to see Hvitserkur added an hour of dirt roads to our drive that day.
Side note…the locals believe this was a troll caught in the sunlight, which converted the troll into this rock formation…. I’m not judging their thoughts and beliefs, just sharing….
Icelandic Horse
One of the wonderful things about Iceland are their pretty horses throughout the country. I can’t explain what makes their horses different, but they just are. We pulled over during our trip at a random spot to conduct a little horse photo shoot and I captured this great image.
Icelandic Mountain Range
This is one of what feels like hundreds of mountains in Iceland. As you drive around the outside of the country on the Ring Road, you are almost always near a mountain like this. I took this one with my drone while we rested at the picnic area on the Atlantic Ocean. Can you see us in this photo?
