Iceland Day 5 - If you don't like the weather, just wait for 5 minutes
After the lovely meal it was time to leave Vik and drive to our next cabin at Höfn. It is a few hour drive and the way the landscape keeps changing as you follow the main road to the east is absolutely beautiful. This has a lot to do with Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe, which you already see from miles and miles ahead, and where you end up driving with the impressive formations of ice and rocks constantly on your left side.
The first stop however came a lot quicker then I thought. I guess around a 3 minute drive actually. In Iceland goes the famous saying: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait for 5 minutes.” And indeed after the storm, the skies suddenly started to open again and created really interesting clouds and light. This little church with the heavy clouds above it and a bit of soft light coming from the side just begged to be photographed. A lot of churches in Iceland have these white walls with a red roof, which makes them really photogenetic. So I quickly pulled the car over, jumped out and made this shot before continuing the journey in the also amazing south-eastern part of Iceland.
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
