Road To The Fjord Late February and the weather is bright and cold. The sun will only reach about 12° above the horizon at its zenith. We're travelling south along a beautiful coast road, exploring inland a little but wary of uncleared roads and hidden ice. Turning back towards the water rewards us with this lovely view. On the right is the island of Drangey and the sea stack of Kerling. Skagafjörður in north-western Iceland. #SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #Stunday #Iceland #Photography

Middle Earth Late November in the eastern fjords of Iceland, and we stopped at Berunes to look across Berufjörður fjord. The air temperature hovered around freezing all day, and the sun didn't rise more than 5° above the horizon in the south. Beautiful Búlandstindur stood proud and pyramidal, 1069 metres of stepped basalt looking more like something from J.R.R. Tolkien than the east of Iceland. #SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #Stunday #Iceland #Photography

Abandoned Valley People lived here. Now, the valley is uninhabited except for the white fox and sheep in the summer. After 50 years of re-wilding, it's almost returned to the way it was before the first settlers arrived. This beautiful and tranquil place demands respect, but welcomes careful admirers. November: Flateyjardalsheiði¹ in NE Iceland. The pointed mountain is Vigga (1041 metres / 3415 feet) ¹ 𝙁𝙡𝙖-𝘵𝘢𝘺-𝘺𝘢𝘳-𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘴-𝘩𝘢𝘺-𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘦 #SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #Stunday #Iceland #Photography
