Today’s blog actually starts off with a few images from last night down by the harbour in Reykjavik.  After our welcome dinner a few of us went for a short walk and ended up at the Harpa Concert Hall.  So we started off todays blog with those images as we had to share how bright it was at 10:15 p.m. last night.

This morning we visited Thingviller and Geyser.  Taking time to hike through the divide of the continental plates and enjoy the photo opportunities of this region.  Then we took the approximate one hour drive into the mountain region to visit Geyser.  As always every four to five minutes we were treated to water eruptions.

After lunch we visited Gullfoss and Fauxfoss, then finished todays trek in Sulfoss.  One enjoyed some social time this evening and a great dinner.  Tomorrow we will begin two days traveling along the south coast and black basalt beaches.

Enjoy tonights selection of images.

10:30 p.m. last night at Reykjavik harbour, notice Harpa Concert Hall in the background.

A fun bicycle shot ... just for you Claudia!!

Reykjavik skyline from the harbour.  Beautiful mix of cloud and light at this time of night.

Inside the Harpa.

An art exhibit inside the Harpa, great evening light adds to the pic.

Thingviller from the upper observation level.

Dean trying some reflection shots at Thingviller.

Some of the water filled regions of Thingviller, this is an excellent and popular place to scuba dive between the tectonic plates.

Geyser

Whoops ... not a good place to stand after an eruption.

Just as the water starts to head skyward.

Even higher ....

Gullfoss Waterfalls from one of the observation points.

Another view of Gullfoss, so amazing to see the large amount of flowing water.

Fauxfoss, also made for a great photo stop. Thanks Oli.

 

Imagine this scene in your backyard ...

A B&W of the suspension bridge in Sulfoss around 9:30 p.m. this evening.

Good night rom Sulfoss.  Tomorrow the south coast and a few more waterfalls, including one location were you can walk behind the falls.
