We went to Iceland for a few days, where we spent most of the time on various excursions. In other words, very little time for photography. But I think that being on these excursions have a big advantage: you get to “know” quite a few places in a very short time. So the next time you travel to Iceland, you can rent a camper, travel around and spending a lot more time at the various places … and of course travel to places you never had the chance to see.

This “canyon” was much more impressive in real life, I didn’t manage to catch how it really looked/felt like.

A statue of Baldur

I would liked to have tried various angles, but I also wanted to stay alive so this is what you get.

This is the church you can see when you test your eyes. I wanted to take a photo where you can see the road leading up to the church … but there were always Chinese tourists standing there, taking selfies of themselves, so I never got the chance.

I’m pretty sure there are 1000s of photos of this mountain, Kirkjufell, from this specific angle. But just to prove that I’ve been there also. Below another angle of the waterfall

We also went to Vestmannaeyjar to see the puffins (sorry, no photos since I didn’t have a camera with a telephoto lens) and just look around. A beautiful place.

Apart from the puffins, we also went to the museum of the Eldfell eruption … a little bit like a modern Pompejii … plus that we climbed the volcano itself

A few photos from the week, the ones I like the best are these two.

I really like the high-contrast of the bridge, I think it works very well. And I think that the image of cup is very calming.

Of course there was some Midsummer celebration also. The Bollibompa-dragon was there also.

Then a few rendom images frames the village

Here are two sketch photos for an idea I have, I'm not sure how I will set up this photo. See these two as test shots to see if my idea will work. I need to make a few more attempts this week.

I've also spent some lunches walking around work trying to find something but haven't managed to take a decent image.

On Saturday evening/night I spend a few hours walking around the city (explanation in Swedish), and when I arrived home after midnight this is how the sky looked like.

Yes, the sky was really this red.
