Sunset Snout

The turquoise calving face of Fjallsjökull, 10m/33ft of compressed snow that flowed slowly down the mountainside before finally joining its moraine lake.

3:30pm in late October, and the sun is slowly setting. Sunset itself will be at 4:45pm.

We had a Zodiac boat ride into the lagoon, and this was as close as our guide would take us.

A colour photo of a body of water at sunset, with the slightly ruffled water reflecting the orange and yellow of the sky. On the horizon is a mountain face topped with snow. A band of cyan ice is standing at the water's edge, deeply cracked and crevassed.

Golden Crowns

The lowering sun casts shadows at the mountainsides, highlighting the very peaks with sunset.

Up in the air, crown'd with the golden sun"

A colour photo of a mountain range at sunset, seen from the foot of the mountains. The flanks are snow- and ice-covered, with only the very tops left bare and brown. Most of the heights are in shadow, except for three sharp peaks which are highlighted with orange by the setting sun.

Rotated

A v-shaped cleft in the rocks of the foreground water margin repeats as an upward pointing mountain shadow further along the fjord.

#SaturdayScenery #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a body of water with sunlit snow-covered mountains on the horizon. The foreground is icy black rocks and, in the centre of the shot, a V-shaped cleft. The sky is fairly clear and the water of the fjord is ruffled.

Another colour shot of the same fjord further along the road. The foreground is a dark sandy bank with a sprinkling of snow. On the opposite shore is a snowy mountainside, the sky above it is more cloudy. The peaks of the mountains and the water below are in shadow but the flanks are sunlit. In the centre is the pointed shadow of the mountain behind us, cast across the snowfield.

Ta Daaa!

#FarAwayFriday #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a snow-capped mountain range beneath a blue sky streaked with lines of cloud. A pointed peak is in the centre, and the stripes of hazy cloud seem to radiate from it.

"Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful"

Snowstorm over the sea at Snæfellsnes. Appropriately, "Snæfell" literally means "Snow Mountain."

Early November, with almost constant blizzards on our last day in #Iceland.

#TravelTuesday #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a landscape with the sea on the horizon. The foreground is craggy dark rocks. The sky is blue above but with a huge snow cloud in a stripe across the centre of the shot. Above it is blue sky and below is the yellowish hue of a snowstorm dropping over the ocean.

Colourless

Mid-March, and the land has been gripped by hard winter since autumn last year. Dyrhólaós estuary is frozen solid and scattered with snow.

#SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A photo of a frozen landscape which is actually in colour but looks more like monochrome. The foreground is the edge of a lake which has turned to ice, and stripes of clean snow partially cover the dark surface. In the distance a black mountain rises, dark rock with ice on any surface which isn't vertical. On the right are the silhouettes of a pair of sea stacks, one has two distinct points and the other is solitary. The sky is grey and snowy. It's quite bleak.

Swamp Valley

A rainbow drops over the smallholdings scattered across the flood plain.

#SaturdayScenery #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a landscape under a cloudy sky taken from high ground. A black tarmac road, patches of ice, and vehicle tracks can be seen across a foreground of brown grassland. Cloud shadows are dappling the surface. Several small buildings are dotted about, and in the distance is a snow-capped mountain range. In the centre is a small arc of rainbow.

Frozen

February, and we're travelling across the north-west of #Iceland in search of waterfalls. We found many beautiful falls but few other visitors...
Until we reached Kolugljúfur¹ gorge at the same time as a coach party!

#WaterfallWednesday #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography

A colour photo of a landscape dominated by a canyon with a bridge across it. The sky is clear but cloudy, and a lovely waterfall in the centre of the shot is frozen almost solid. People are standing on the bridge. The steep walls of the gorge are covered in ice and snow.

Am Sonntag gabs Besuch von diesem Monster. Bei uns nur Getöse und Drohgebärden. Aber im fast schwarzen Bereich links hinten gab es Hagel in der Größe von Hühnereiern. Gott sei Dank keine Personenschäden, aber viel Scherben und Blechbeulen.

Foto einer gigantischen Gewitter Superzelle mit Ausläufern, die wie Finger in Windrichtung zu greifen scheinen. Der Kranz um das Auge des Sturms ist apokalyptisch rot angestrahlt von der untergehenden Sonne. Darunter bricht sich strahlend blau etwas schöner Himmel von der anderen Seite.

A landscape photo with puffy, turbulent clouds beyond a row of houses and trees. In the foreground is a green field and a layer of darker gray clouds is directly overhead. In between the distant and nearby clouds is blue sky.

A colour photo of a landscape with a river running away from the viewpoint and towards a body of water in the distance. The ground is covered in snow and ice. The sky is cloudy with clear cyan patches, and a range of mountains is on the horizon. The sky colours are reflected in the water surface.

Towards Sunset

October, and behind us the sun is setting in the south-west. As we drive towards Vatnajökull, a cloud bank above the glacier is tinted orange and yellow by the lowering light.
