Photos of the week — 29 June - 5 july

Let’s continue with some mixed photos from Iceland. We continued our quick tour of Iceland by looking at the waterfall at Selfoss

Then some hot springs, but I didn’t get any nice photos of them … however, I like these that I saw when looking away from the springs

Then some random photos

Back home I suspect that someone was quite unhappy, I found this outside a shopping centre. I suspect that someone bought a bucket of paint and dropped it on the parking lot.

Before getting this Macbook Neo, I’ve always thought keyboard backlighting was unnecessary … I was wrong.

Photos of the week — 22-28 June

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
