We have just got back from a trip to Iceland. It has been on my travel wish list for some time. The scenery is stunning. These are a few of my favourite photos.

est une localité située sur la côte sud de l'Islande. Le village est un centre de service et de commerce pour les habitants des environs, étant donné qu'il s'agit de la seule localité dans un rayon de 70 km. La capitale Reykjavik est située à 187 km. L'église de Vik a été construite en 1934, consolidant le statut de Vik en tant que communauté et village.Etant donné la proximité des villages à proximité du volcan Katla, en cas d'éruption ou de mauvais temps, l'église est le lieu d'évacuation et on croit qu'elle est le seul endroit du village à pouvoir être hors des eaux de fonte glaciaire, en raison de sa position élevée.

She learned the hard way that, even though the pool was heated, the fountains were not.

Two weeks earlier, the foreground would have been a sea of blue lupins. You can still see a faint trace of the last few blooms but they are mostly finished.

Happy New Year!!! - Best wishes for 2016!

Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to view, comment or fave

If you'd told me a few years ago that one day we'd drive to London airport, fly to Reykjavik, hire a 4x4, drive for a couple of hours in the snow, run down to the beach with a tripod & camera bag wearing a fur lined anorak, boots & waterproof trousers (how can anyone ever look more ridiculous) - oh & book 3 nights at a hotel there by the beach just in case the weather wasn't playing ball - only because I thought the effort might possibly result in a good photograph I'd have said to you;

"What's wrong with you?!!! - are you completely & utterly insane????!!!!"

That was then........... :)

La mítica iglesia de Vik. Estupenda en todos los sentidos.

Vik is a very small town on the southern coast of Iceland.

Vik church in Iceland on a glorious sunny day today

Lofoten, Norway

We were attempting to drive up to an overlook, but unfortunately the way was closed. As we were contemplating on where to go next, the sun bathed the distant Vik Church in some beautiful light. Of course, none of us were prepared, and I certainly missed the moment.

I still liked this view point. Such a dramatic backdrop to this lovely little church.

A very windy and cloudy day, but the sun was trying to break through.

Taken in June when the Lupins are in full bloom on the slopes to the church.

The only thing sweeter than being in Iceland is being back in Iceland :)

Schöner als in Island zu sein, ist nur zurück in Island zu sein!

The world-famous Reynisfjara shore, near the village Vik in Taken before the setting sun at Myrdalur on Iceland's South Coast, widely regarded as the most impressive black-sand beach in Iceland.

Reynisfjara is a black pebble beach and features an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns resembling a rocky step pyramid, which is called Gardar. Out in the sea are the spectacularly shaped basalt sea stacks Reynisdrangar. The area has a rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.

The waves at Reynisfjara are especially strong and unpredictable.

According to folklore, two trolls attempted to drag a ship to land but were turned to stone as daylight broke, turning them into the Reynisdrangar stacks, clearly visible from the beach.*
