Heinous crime, even in Iceland!
|
The landscape has plumes of steam from hot springs
|
These electricity towers look pretty cool
|
We had to stop the van and wait for someone who got left behind, but we stopped in a pretty picturesque location
|
|
|
|
More steaming hot springs and geothermal vents
|
Such a cool looking landscape
|
A lot of food is grown in greenhouses
|
Icelandic houses have some pretty intense insulation
|
Steaming landscape. Watch out for holes that might open in the ground!
|
I do not like the look on this pig's face one bit
|
|
How come Iceland gets to have a Quiznos??
|
|
I found a convenient place to put my tinny espresso cup
|
In a land of volcanoes and glaciers you encounter some pretty intense vehicles
|
|
|
There's still some ice in the wrinkles of the hills that the sun doesn't reach
|
|
|
Lots of grass and moss, not many trees
|
|
You can see the mountain just sort of sliding away
|
I like the rock-guard trees. The tour guides say no house has ever been wiped out by a rolling rock but I guess no one wants to be the first
|
Hill? Mountain? You be the judge. Or ask a geologist I guess
|
|
We didn't have a ton of time, so rather than go up for an elevated view I went close to the waterfall
|
No drones! But Shiba Inus are ok
|
|
I'd be nervous about rolling rocks
|
|
I think it looks nicer than Niagara Falls. Even with the tourists
|
You can just walk up to it!
|
|
|
A tripod would've been handy
|
Topaz walking back from his waterfall close encounter
|
I hid under a little natural shelf
|
The water was churned up into little waves
|
|
These rocks are hanging in here
|
|
|
OK, this might be too close
|
|
A glacier!! We'll see more of this later. Or maybe it's another glacier, I can't remember
|
Everyone in the Dacia, we're heading to Pochinki!
|
|
|
One of our tourmates getting in close for a shot
|
|
I wonder if it gets old when you live here
|
These islands almost look like something out of a game
|
|
|
I love how the clouds lead to really different lighting conditions. The foreground is in sunlight and the hills are in shade
|
It's easier to see the lighting here
