yet another frozen waterfall which we encountered in Iceland. Each of them was very unique with its own unmistakable signature :)
Antelope Canyon, Arizona -- where sunbeams bring sandstone cave walls to life. Magic, yet very real.
Glacial ice floes originating from Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon float into the North Atlantic where they are returned onto the black volcanic beach.
Now where is my Gin?
These are completely natural patterns created in a tidal lagoon near Saudarkrokur in North Iceland, where black volcanic beach contrasts with the remaining water which reflects a beautiful blue sky.
Another capture of a wonderful sunrise at Jokulsarlon glacier bay in Southeast Iceland. It is those moments of special light when the "natural diamonds" are looking most splendid.
This is Fjallsjokul glacier lagoon in deep winter! To see those textures of the glacier tongue and the colour of the ice floes is really something incredible.
Today's another day with scorching hot temperatures in Mid-September!! So let me offer some welcome refreshment to all of us who are suffering from the heat :)
Jokulsarlon glacier bay with its glacial ice floes glowing in the light of the rising sun.
Kirkjugolf - the "Church Floor" is the name of this natural feature of columnar basalt in Southeast Iceland near Kirkjubaejarklaustur.
Happy Textural Tuesday!
amazing columnar basalt rock formations on this outcropping in front of Staffa island, which is entirely formed by upfolding basalt colums creating the strangest twisted and twirling shapes.
detail view of Svinafellsjokull glacier tongue in Southeast Iceland with those amazing structures and colours in the glacial ice.
A section of a leaf of a bromeliad, Neoregalia sp. For the Macro Mondays challenge: Redux, chosen theme: Fill the frame. Width 2 in.
The leaves are normally green and white but turn pink and green when the plant flowers.
HMM and happy new week!
a sunny ice scenario by the shore of a Lofoten fjord. The low sunlight reflecting and highlighting perfectly those beautiful ice structures.
Thanks for your visit. Comments, faves and invitations are very appreciated.
Reflections distorted by ripples, the Calvert River, Northern Territory Australia. The plants at the edge of the water are Pandanus spiralis, the common screw palm or common screw pine, which is neither a palm nor a pine.
The mind bogging coastline near Sauðárkrókur in North Iceland with a vast coastal lagoon, amazing mountain ranges and diverse islands of interesting geological background. A coast made for people who like me prefer to explore the landscape instead of holding the forth in a deck chair :p :D
glacier tongue and frozen lake off Svinafellsjokull glacier in South Iceland on a day of amazing weather and light moods.
Hairpin Banksia, Banksia spinulosa, flowers.
The flowers are arranged in pairs. The pink structures are the styles. They will break free of their covering when the flowers open fully. The colour of the styles is variable in this species they can range from yellow to pink, maroon, or black. For more information about this species see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksia_spinulosa
Thanks very much for your visit. Any comment or fave that you may leave is very appreciated.
Snaefellsnes peninsula shortly before reaching Kirkjufell mountain during a golden Spring sunset which created a kind of "natural art" in that fjord.
Asparagaceae
It's veins created a very interesting pattern.
Ses veines créé un motif très intéressant.
the images of flickering, waving, transforming Northern lights kept going on and on and on and all we could do is that there freezing our bums off and keep pressing the shutter button ;)
closeup of a big chunk of glacial ice resting on the black volcanic beach of Jokullsarlon glacier bay in Southeast Iceland.
glacial ice floes flowing into the North Atlantic and being returned to the black volcanic beach by the strong wave action and tides.

more impressions of the amazing Northern Lights show we encountered yesterday. The emotions you go through when standing alone in this vast space in Arctic night watching this show unfold cannot be described easily. It was exhilarating, humbling and I felt completely awe-struck.
In Antelope Canyon, northern Arizona, at high noon. Thus the brilliant light from the "slots" above, which highlights the rock formations below. For those who are new to slot canyons, this narrow deep canyon, located in Navajo territory, has been carved out through sandstone deposits over millions of years by water -- often flash floods. Today, it is probably the most well-known slot canyon in the world...ten years ago, relatively few people knew of it. Going there is a painful experience, not because of any technical difficulties, but because hundreds of people sign on to (expensive) tours through it most days. It deserves to be seen in solitude, but that is no longer possible. The footprints in the sand tell today's story of Antelope Canyon. Nevertheless, a sublime natural wonder.
