The 17th day brought me from Flam to Vik! A very busy day with even more very changeable weather. Rain, dark and grey in the morning, then when arriving at Stalheim suddenly clearing skies (pics later), and after that threatening skies again. Soon after I had arrived in Vik, and had put up my tent it started to rain heavily, clearing up again to give me this landscape around blue hour. What I didn't realize then was that the good days were finally over, from this day on the weather was very unstable, and forced me to look different at my surroundings to see other sorts of beauty!
It is my favourite fjord btw Sognefjord, vast/immense and great sightings! Enjoy!
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- Trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).

What a sunrise we had in Vik back in February. Sunrises occur just before 10am at that time of the year which allows for a lie in and some breakfast before waiting patiently for the light to slowly rise behind this wonderful church which is amazingly positioned high up on a hillside surrounded by higher hills.

We missed seeing the black church Budir on the Snaefellsness peninsula due to the horrendous weather, it was impossible to see anything on that day actually , even though we drove round the whole peninsula ! So I was happy to see the lovely church in Vik which overlooks the town and the ocean.
The Northern Lights are undoubtedly one of the most impressive natural phenomena. With solar activity approaching its peak, there was a good chance of seeing some. This was the case in March 2024, although the sky was not as spectacular as it will be in October 2024. The Lofoten Islands offer some good observation sites.
And on the other side of Reynisdrangar and the Black Beach is the smallest 'big' town I've ever been to, called Vik.
After so many empty miles in either direction along Route 1 I had hoped the streets of Vik would be lined with bars, restaurants, shops. But not a bit of it. Any thoughts of wild nights out on the town anywhere in Iceland outside of Reykjavik were short lived.
We made a major mistake in booking a hotel a few miles from Vik. We wanted a beer...we needed a beer, or two, or..... after our first long days out walking and walking in the cold and the ice. And it was my day to do the driving.
I thought that from looking at the map of Iceland, the town of Vik dominates the whole southern coast. It's the only town named on the map until you go much further east to Hofn. Surely the streets of Vik must be lined with pubs and restaurants? But we only found one.
But that didn't matter. The brew pub restaurant was very welcoming indeed. And I would have loved to stay there an awful lot longer. smidjanbrugghus.is/
But the beer was strong and good and when we reluctantly left I told Gary we were going up that hill, and we stormed up through the snow in Dusty, our trusty Dacia Duster to the top to take a few windblown shots of the tiny town of Vik.
One of the amazing scenes in Iceland, Vik in the distance with the famous stacks standing defiantly out of the sea.
For anyone that knows me, they know that I have a particular fascination and love of the church overlooking Vik in Iceland. It has a magical majestic quality and for me personally stands as the enduring icon of Iceland.
Normally I shoot the church straight on as in the previous image of the church in the mist. However, I thought I would try a number of other perspectives. This one offered on the day the chance to capture the shadows of the clouds as they passed overhead.

The village of Vík (or Vík í Mýrdal in full) is the southernmost village in Iceland, located on the main ring road around the island, around 180 km (110 mi) by road southeast of Reykjavík.
Despite its small size (291 inhabitants as of January 2011) it is the largest settlement for some 70 km (43 mi) around and is an important staging post, and thus it is indicated on road signs from a long distance away. It is an important service center for the inhabitants of and visitors to the coastal strip between Skógar and the west edge of the Mýrdalssandur glacial outwash plain. (Wikipedia)
