Kirkjufellsfoss

 Kirkjufellsfoss, IcelandBeautiful spot in the western part of Iceland.
This photo was taken close to midnight when I had the whole waterfall to myself.

Reynisdrangar

 ReynisdrangarSouthern Region, IcelandThese basalt columns near the town of Vik were such a unique thing to get to experience.

Gullfoss Falls

 Gullfoss FallsSouthern Region, IcelandOne of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland along the golden circle. As with most attractions in Iceland come either early in the morning or late at night to escape the buses of tourists. I was there near midnight in the middle of May and the light was just getting perfect, and only one other person was around. #waterfall #photography

Jökulsárlón Iceberg Lagoon

 Jökulsárlón Iceberg Lagoon, IcelandIt’s the prefect time of year to start planning an #Iceland #roadtrip. Be sure to include #Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. This 18 sq km lake is full of icebergs broken off from the glaciers. I loved walking along the lake shore and watching the crystal blue icebergs floating around the lake. I got lucky and got to see a couple of seals in the lake. Be sure to check out my blog for more into on this amazing place.
