My journey to Iceland in July and August, 2015, consisted of:
- 3 nights in Reykjavik
- 2 nights in Skogar
- 2 nights near Jökulsárlón
- 3 nights near Lake Myvatn
- 3 nights in Holmavik
- 2 nights in Alftanes
In total, I took over 8900 photographs of this delightful and stunning country. It’s taking me a bit of time to go through and process them all, but I will get there eventually.
Below are several of the photographs I took in the Lake Mývatn area, up near Húsavík, around the Diamond Circle, and along the Eyjafjörður. The other stops will follow, one post at a time. Thank you for enjoying!
