In June large purple fields of Alaskan lupine (Lupinus nootkatensis) are a common sight all over Iceland. This plant looks native but in fact it was introduced in Iceland in 1945 to prevent erosion of the soil.
...You'll never be afraid to be the only one standing. ...You'll never be ashamed to stand up for what you believe. ...Being alone can be peaceful.
Especially on a day like this! I love popcorn clouds and blue skies. And there was plenty of wind so the sky was always changing - I had to wait a little bit so there weren't any shadows on the field/hills.
Another day from last summer up near Pickerel Lake.
Please enjoy...

This week's Big Excitement for me ! My first excursion with my newly delivered camera took me to our nearest field and it was being harvested. A combine harvester - Oh JOY ! You can see the dust it's kicking up over there on the right near the trees. The driver saw me taking photos and kindly drove down the field again and right past me, smiled and gave me a 'thumbs up'. Isn't it wonderful when people are so kind? Made my day ! (That may be my next upload).
The clouds were beautiful and I loved the lines the newly cut stubble made, so I painted this scene in Topaz Impression 2. I do hope you like it !
As always, thank you so much for your comments, faves or for just looking. Happy weekend to you all ... I hope you find similar kindness and friendliness in everyone you meet.
YOUR kindness has meant this image reached Explore number 79 on 13 August 2016 - thank you all so very much !

Sony rx1 is a full frame compact camera with a fixed 35mm f2 Carl zeiss lens. With no built in viewfinder and small battery (same present in rx100 series) and not a possibility to change lens, above all the premium price tag, this camera won’t appeal to the masses. But if you own it it will surely be your companion on the streets of Paris,Milan or Munich. The sensor even though is around eight years old is still one of the best. The ability to use flash at any shutter speed can overpower sun easily. The dynamic range and micro contrast is exemplary. Do I like it? The simply answer is AN EMPHATIC YES. will i recommend it to you? Hmmm... no!
