Hraunfossar in west Iceland. Water flows out from under a lava flow, falling into the Hvítá river over nearly a kilometer of its length.

A farm in a beautiful setting in Iceland, with rocky crags above and a river below. The tall spire was thought to be an "elf church".

Eurasian wigeon near Akureyri. I went walking from our cabin after 9:00pm, looking for some of the many birds I we could hear in the evenings. The sun was behind a bank of clouds, and low on the horizon, but I was able to crank up the ISO setting high enough on my trusty Nikon D7000 to let me use my 500mm lens and get some good bird shots. These won't make big prints, due to the ISO noise, but they look good at monitor resolution.

The sun slipping toward the horizon at midnight local time. Looking north from the east side of Eyjafjörður, across from Akureyri. A bit later, the sun disappeared behind the mountains at the end of the fjord, on the right. It then came back up and "dawn" in Akureyri was about 3:00 am.

Hofskirkja, the church at Hof. This church was built in 1884, one of the last of the old-style sod churches. Only 6 remain standing. This church is now maintained by the National Museum, but is also still in use as a parish church.

Skogafoss
Skogafoss is quite popular,making it somewhat hard to get a "clean" picture. The wind changed, pushing more spray at the crowd, so they mostly backed up. I managed to get about 30 seconds of a clear view before people started crowding around in front again.

Seljalandsfoss
Seljalandsfoss in the South of Iceland is a popular photos spot. You can walk all the way around behind it, if you don't mind getting a bit wet.
