Trees of the Mist


As we approached Whiteface Mountain we could see the summit was shrouded in mist. We knew we wouldn’t be able to have the vast views a clear day would provide but we weren’t going to let that stop us. I am glad we didn’t because the rolling clouds over the trees provided endless moody compositions.

Jökulsárlón

Our stop at the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón was pretty brief but the walk along the shores was incredibly breathtaking. Fed by the terminus of Breiðamerkurjökull the icebergs slowly drift with the tide from the lagoon out to the Atlantic. Some end up drifting back into a nearby beach but the majority enjoy their new found freedom and slowly become apart of the ocean.
I could’ve spent hours here and come October I will be doing just that! Flight back has been booked, so I shall see you the first week of October you frozen iceberg beauties.

“Kind-Horn”

Meet “Kind-Horn” an Icelandic Ram from the farm at Nýpugarđar Guesthouse. I named him because of how kind he was to trot over and let me take his portrait while the thousands of others I saw on the trip would simply run away. What amazes me about the Icelandic sheep is that they carry the same genetics as the sheep from over 1100 years ago when they were brought over from Norway. It is a common theme here that history prevails everywhere you look.
