Return to the south coast where we recover strength on the Gufufoss meadow. Andy swallows his bottle after swallowing some kleinas (Icelandic pastries).

Gufufoss is hidden in a fault, it is not difficult to reach it by cons it is impossible to see it by staying dry. Plan a rain cape!

[ip_width_txt]

A photograph that smells like summer. It seems to me that the small yellow flowers are buttercups, similar to those found at Faroe Islands .

This photo was taken at Nikon D800 with a Big Stopper from Lee Filters which allows me a 13-second break in the middle of the afternoon. The radiant sun explodes the colors and makes the dark ocean bright and transparent.

I really like this photograph that I shot in large format on a paper Hahnemühle Photo Rag . The black and white print on this textured cotton fiber paper is beautiful. You should try !

This view of Dyrhólaey from the ark shows the erosion of the rock that is undergoing the onslaught of an angry ocean all year long.

The lighthouse of the cape Dyrhólaey captures the last rays of the sun, in the background the Reynisdrangar are already draping in the night.

Andy, 7:00 am . At first simply posted on my blog, I was surprised how much this image made react. I decided to propose it to you here.

It is in its evocative power that it finds its strength. By looking at it we put ourselves in the place of the amazed child (by Skógafoss ) and at the same time awaken the one who sleeps in us.

[ip_width_txt]

Five photographs (bracketing) were necessary to make this portrait of the most famous plane of Iceland. At that time we could still go by 4×4. And find yourself alone.

Lakagigar

[ip_width_txt]

One of the treasures accessible yet often forgotten . The Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, excavated 2 million years ago, offers an unreal spectacle. Many ledges follow one another and offer impressive – but perilous – views of the canyon. Many signs warn of danger, which suggests some accidents … Dizziness abstain.

[ip_width_txt]

F206 in all its splendor. That it is good to ride on this track finally “soft” after 3 difficult hours in the pebbles to fear a puncture far from everything.

The Lakagigar is a unique place in the world, the biggest volcanic explosion of all time (the years of famine that followed are at the origin of the French Revolution).

Climbing on the Laki (the volcano that gave its name to the place) we see the 30-kilometer scar on both sides.

[ip_width_txt]

Gold and steel. From here we can see the two twin lakes Kambavatn and Lambavatn . In the horizon, the mountains of Langisjór which I mentioned earlier.

[ip_width_txt]

The Northeast view from the Laki . The volcanic line can be seen on this crushed plane at 200 mm . At the bottom, the flanks of the largest glacier in Europe, the Vatnajökull .

[ip_width_txt]

F207 , commonly known as the Laki loop, offers nice surprises like this crater lake, the Tjarnagigur . The tiny white dots on the lake are swans.

[ip_width_txt]

It happens that we cross trolls in Iceland, what’s more normal after all? That night it was the devil himself who struck me down, evil evocation of Mordor (“black country” in Sindarin) for lovers of J.R.R. Tolkien .

Jökulsárlón

[ip_width_txt]

I always arrive at Jökulsárlón in the evening to enjoy a soft light. In June at midnight the colors of sky, water and ice have the good taste to be perfectly complementary (pink / cyan).
The birds seem to appreciate just as much as me.

[ip_width_txt]

No it is not a jewel Lalique or some master glassmakers of Murano. Most ice blocks in Jökulsárlón are white and opaque, but a few are perfectly transparent. I enjoy watching the texture and reflections.

[ip_width_txt]

Taking a little height, I look up and breathe deeply. It’s 23:44, it’s June 29, 2012. It’s my birthday. The red moon gives me a complicit look. Never forget this moment.
