Well it’s taken me two months but I'm finally getting a few images from our Iceland trip posted. Cathy and I, along with our good friends Gail and Axel Duwe, made the trek to Iceland back in September. We spent 10 days touring the country. None of us had ever been there before, but we had heard great things about the natural beauty of the island.
We began in Reykjavik, in the Southwest part of
the island and made a clockwise circuit around the entire country, stopping to stay at a different farmhouse or cottage each night. The weather was as highly variable as the geography. Some days were beautiful and sunny and others a deluge of rain. Needless to say, the rainy days posed great problems for our photography.

Iceland is often referred to as the land of Fire and Ice and the Land of Contrasts. Our experience certainly confirmed this. We observed geothermal fields, geysers, massive waterfalls, glaciers, vast lava fields, fijords, fertile farmland, mountains and much more. Such diversity in a small country is astonishing.
We had no trouble getting around the country. The people are exceptionally friendly. Almost everyone spoke English although the everyday language is Icelandic.Cathy and I returned home with over 6000 images. We managed to reduce that down to our favorite 600. I’m sorry we can only show a few on this blog. Hopefully we will post more in the near future to share.
If you are looking for an interesting and different
vacation spot, we highly recommend Iceland.Best wishes,
Mark and Cathy
