Fjallabak (Icelandic Highlands) 20210717
The Icelandic Highland is a huge uninhabited area of Iceland basically covering the center and sometimes stretching to places near the shore. The whole highland area is loaded with natural wonders, hiking trails, places to visit, fascinating geology, mountains, geothermal pools, waterfalls, and much more. It is characterized and defined by altitude as the term Highland implies. It is mostly above 350 meters and thus usually rather cold and seldom specifically warm. In any sense of the word, it is extremely sensitive. The soil, the lava, the moss, the vegetation, the roads, the hiking trails.
Most of the time the whole area is under snow. Almost nine months of the year. Only in the summer does the Highland reveal itself and start blooming and exposing its vegetation, crystal clear creeks, and beautiful mountains with thousands of colors. In large areas, it consists of vast black sands, dark lava, suspiciously looking rocks, powerful rivers flooding from under glaciers, and long horizons.

These Icelandic horses are the only breed in the world that can perform five gaits, of which none other breeds can do. They are small and almost look like ponies. I happened to see them at some of the ranches on the southern side of Iceland. I took this shot from our tour bus back pressing the lens of my Sony point and shoot against the window in order to eliminate any reflection from the window. It worked.

A beautiful Icelandic horse out standing in its field of lupines. The farm included this sloping area, that leads up to a mountain, which is in the background. The horse is lit by the sun above that mountain.
Auf dieser Reise habe ich auch fotografiert mit meiner kleinen Fujifilm X100F in Jpeg und war sehr erstaunt ueber die Resultate. Also darum auch noch diese Serie.

Another area just outside Reykjavik where the geothermal activity is obvious. Steam mixed with sulphur escapes from deep below the earth with a constant flow of boiling water.

Seen near Möðrudalur, which is a farm settlement in Norður-Múlasýsla in Eastern Iceland, and the highest inhabited place in the country, at 469 m (1,539 ft) above sea level.
Möðrudalur is a popular tourist destination, and was formerly located on The Ring Road until the road was moved to its current Háreksstaðaleið route to the north of Möðrudalur.
A church was built in Möðrudalur in 1949 by Jón A. Stefánsson. A guesthouse, a small store and a restaurant are operated in the area. Nearby the settlement one finds also the Kunsthalle Tropical. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Iceland, -38.0 °C (-36.4 °F) was recorded concurrently in Möðrudalur and the neighboring Grímsstaðir on 21 January 1918. This shot was taken on the road back to the Ring Road. Text adapted from Wikipedia.
One of the mightiest waterfalls in Europe the Gullfoss is part of the so called "Golden Circle" on Iceland meaning that you reach the most important highlights by driving around one day to visit Gullfoss, Thingvellir and the geysir Strokkur.
