Waterfalls, waterfalls, and more waterfalls Almost everywhere in Iceland, there is rushing water. Most of it is right beside the road, for the free enjoyment of all.
If you'd like a sense of size perspective, that TINY blue spot, just right of the base of the falls is my wife Bonnie. : ) |

Snaefellnes penisular, the rural Iceland IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE IT. THE PHOTO IS ACTUALLY A PANORAMIC, AND THE EFFECT IS MUCH NICER. Enjoy.
When you get out onto the Snaefellness peninsular, you are getting into a much more rural part of Iceland. Most of the highways are at least partially gravel and the going can be slow. But the reward is the intense beauty and serenity of the area. In many ways, this area of the country is more intensely "Scandinavian", with it's lovely fjords and quaint fishing villages. | | | A small Lutheran chapel on the way to Hellisandur |

Great pictures. I'm going to Iceland next week and can't wait. How do you create a wide-screen photo? | penumbra Wed Sep 19, 2007 01:39 UTC
Looks like some interesting driving… both 4WD and open range. | toonsarah Fri Jun 29, 2007 19:38 UTC
Fantastic photos, especially the lake near Skaftafell Park & Skogarfoss - I do have a thing for waterfalls ;) Great panoramic shots too (and I reckon I know a few people who could take a bad photo anywhere!) Would SOOOO love to visit here! | agapotravel Sat Apr 28, 2007 12:59 UTC
Wow!! You have amazing pictures and tips. My husband and I are going to Iceland in July, and your pages are very helpful. :-) |
