Merry Winter/Happy Solstice !
Located on the edge of Vatnajökull glacier, Jökulsárlón lake provides spectacular views of the glacier.
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church Mountain, 463 m high) mountain and the north coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula, Iceland.
This beautiful landmark is the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
Although Reykjavik was only a very short stopover, and the weather was miserable, there was one visit I couldn't miss: Harpa, the city's new concert center.
Finally got to see these on my last night here. While I've seen them before where I live, I've never seen them so strong or for so long.
And I discovered I need different editing skills for this type of image. Any tips appreciated!
