Reynisdrangar from the wild black beach at the foot of Vik, Iceland.
Three black basalt columns called the Reynisdrangar protrude from the stormy North Atlantic. Legend has it that the rocks are three trolls, caught out too late and frozen by the early morning sunlight.
Cape Dyrholaey near Vik i Myrdal in South Iceland, one of the most striking beaches in the World, where black volcanic beach meets wild North Atlantic surf, impressive monoliths of columnar basalt (the Reynisdrangar) of which legends tell of trolls who pulled a three-masted schooner to the beach (you can see it in the distance to the right) and puffins nest in abundance
Happy Textural Tuesday!
the vast and wonderful coastline at Vik in South iceland as seen from nearby Cape Dyrholaey. One may appreciate the wonderful black volcanic beach, the gorgeous monolithic structures made of columnar basalt, called Reynisdrangar.
One of the Reynisdrangar monoliths at Cape Dyrholaey near Viki Myrdal in South iceland. They are wonderful seastacks of impressive columnar basalt "guarding" this amazing stretch of black volcanic beach in South iceland.
These beautifully frosted mountains looking like a sugar-powdered tiramisu are located close to Vik in South Iceland. I loved the hill with its vantage point from where we were shooting this landscape and when I noticed the kind of "fence" at the border of the road I had to chuckle. This is what I call creative fencing.
Happy Fence Friday!
Morning lights at Vík í Mýrdal: the low cloud cover is quickly drifting in the changing lights along the cliffs and the rocks. All the elements of the fast changing Icelandic landscape...
auf die Kirche von Vík í Mýrdal. Die Kirche wurde 1934 auf einem Hügel des Ortes erbaut. Vík í Mýrdal ist der südlichste Ort auf Island. Wir hatten das Glück den Ort bei schönstem Sonnenschein zu besuchen. Der schwarze Strand zählt zu einem der 10 schönsten Strände der Welt.

ganz in der Nähe von Vík in Island hat man in der Ferne den Blick auf die versteinerten Trolle von Reynisdrangar und die hohe Steilküste.
Ein Spaziergang am Strand ist ein einmaliges Erlebnis, der Kontrast zwischen dem blauen Meer und dem schwarzen Strand (hier aber im Gegenlicht) sind ein einfach ein Vergnügen.

Dark Skies over Reynisfjara Beach. One of the most popular but also most dangerous places in Iceland. Recently another tourist drowned taken unaware by the sneaker waves and incredibly strong current. A beautiful place to visit but also one to stay well away from the water.

Rework of Iceland October 2014, a dark and very windy day.
Reynisdrangar in a storm, it was so windy I shot this from behind the 4x4 at Dyrholaey.
Von der Kirche hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick über den Ort und den berühmten scharzen Sandstrand.

From the church you have a breathtaking view over the village and the famous black sandy beach.
We had an amazing time in Iceland for almost two weeks, exploring what this beautiful country has to offer. Aside from scenic and stunning waterfalls, volcanoes, canyons, geyers, hot springs, etc., we saw many birds, animals, and other wildwife.
The Atlantic Puffins are absolutely the highlight of them all. Known as the "Clown of the Sea" for their colorful triangular bill, these stocky, black-and-white seabords are beyond being cute. They flap their short wings up to 400 times a minute to reach speeds near 55 mph in the air, and use those same wings as flippers to dive up to 200 feet underwater for small fish.
Located on a hillside overlooking the village of Vík, the Víkurkirkja (Vík í Mýrdal Church) stands as one of Iceland’s most photographed landmarks. Its red roof and white walls stand out sharply against the dark volcanic landscape, offering a striking visual contrast that captures the raw beauty of the South Coast.
While you drive towards Vík í Mýrdal from Reykjavik you cannot miss the beautiful white church with the red roof. It is a wooden church built in 1929 up on the hill.
