We are fortunate to have had two fine days out so far. Looking forward to more.

A beautiful day in Iceland

We are so happy to have our first day be like this...

High noon:

Notice the angle of the shadows... Yes, this was noon!

Lights at 40,000 feet!

Eagle eyed Sandy spotted the Aurora Borealis over Greenland, so I tried some handheld long exposures with Sandy's help to block the light from the inside of the plane. (Icelandair blankets work well.)









Nighty night

See you on the flip side

On our way!

Bardabunga

Looks like Bardabunga is going crazy again! Just got a video of it. Helicopter tours there are just too expensive and not very practical if one is staying in Keflavik pre-trip. Oh well, some other time. In the meantime, booked a Jeep tour on Sunday the 1st. Wonder if I'll run into some of the others who are Jeeping around? Here is another shot from the South Uist Islands. It's titled "Beach, Rubha Aird a Mhuile, South Uist, Scotland".

Taking photographs to end up with different ones.

Berneray Beach, Scotland

Hoping to capture some interesting black and white compositions like this one I took in the Uist Island group in Scotland in April. Can't wait for those black sand beaches!
