A long exposure, landscape image of Öxarárfoss falls in Þingvellir, Iceland.
The Scottish weather just isn't playing ball at the moment so this one from a year ago in Iceland will have to do for today. Hardly a bad thing though. :-)

Þingvellir National Park with Öxará river and Althing, the national parliament of Iceland. It's one of that famous places "must to visit" in Golden Circle, Iceland.
Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological importance and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. It lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
The Althing, the national parliament of Iceland, was established at Þingvellir in 930, and held its sessions there until 1798. Þingvellir National Park was founded in 1930 and became a World Heritage Site in 2004.

Thank you all for the SL group invites, very much appreciated.
This picture was taken in the game Rift :))
A north looking view of the Þingvellir rift valley in Iceland from near the Lögberg flagpole inside the National Park. On the left side of the foreground is the slope Hallurinn. Almannagjá gorge is further left outside of the photo. These features mark the west side of the rift valley. In the center of the photo is the Óxará which exits the Almannagjá by cutting threw the Hallurinn slope. It then flows down a low between faults. Fissures filled with water can be found along the banks of the river. Further to the right cliffs along other faults/fissures across the river can be seen. The bounding fault on the east side of the rift valley, Hrafnagjá, lies near the Mountains and cannot be made out in this photo. The Volcanoes and Volcanic Mountains on the horizon left to right are Ármannsfell, Lágafell, Skjaldbreiður ( a large shield volcano), Tindaskagi, Hrafnabjörg.
Well it was when I took the shot , back in January 2024 ! The ice formation on my car , a Rifter , created such a fascinating pattern of the ice formation it needed a shot , although , it has taken me nearly a year to get round to posting it !!

There are many landscapes in Iceland that demonstrate the island's recent volcanic origins. Iceland lies at the north end of the mid-Atlantic rift on the most active part. The island country has many hot baths plus hot mud and geysers. Most of the electricity is generated using thermal energy. A pedestrian street in Reykjavik is heated with thermal energy pipes under the street.
Very clearly a rift in the space time continuum. Evidenced by an example of rotating the picture (go ahead, tilt your head, see the rotation). You'll note that, indeed, the picture seems to be fine at nearly any rotation. An obvious sign of a fissure in the space-time continuum.
And if you peer real close, you can see spaceships and stagecoaches dueling it out deep in the bright white heart of the door.
