Re: Iceland for tourists
Some fantastic shots there, Tero. What a beautiful country. 

Re: Iceland for tourists
You better go before they close it 
We could see ice fields in the far distance after seeing the falls. You need to spread these out on the screen.

reminded me of a cold Mordor lurking.
a few craters dotted the landscape....quite alien looking


The low ground cover was amazing colours even late in the year ( mid Sept ).
This is just near the Althing - it flows through the split from one side to the other

then spreads out in this lovely panorama on the plain below.

This was a good topic as it got me sorting and uploading some of the Baltic/Atlantic trip photos

Just adored the colours - wish the sun had been out more. Really need to sort a macro ability as there are little bits of wonder just a few inches high.

Sheep! Sheep dip!
My favorite sheep picture is now wallpaper on my Facebook. Sorry Pappa, they are distant. Not enough to get you excited.

Re: Iceland for tourists
I think I have been to every one of those locations, Tero. Brought back some happy memories.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Re: Iceland for tourists
If you do the ring road, you will see those. We did very few side trips off it, just the one waterfall up north and the power plant...maybe that was not too far off.
