Looks like you have good conditions regarding the weather! Nice ;) Although wind is difficult to see on images from Iceland,,,

Great travel / Explorer images! Almost like being back :)

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Great landschapes,  like the colours in '6 - 1 here we come'  from sweet green to sweet yellow, a bit of a Spring feeling.

Day 7 - part 1

A hiking day. Island has lots of opportunities.

7 - 1 Fuglabjargarnes
There is a lot of drift wood on this coast.
7 - 2 leave the vehicles on the car parking (cycles allowed)
One is happy if there is parking close to where you'd expect it to be.
7 - 3 Wollgrass (Eriophorum)
7 - 4 infinite flow
7 - 5 fall

10 it is this round ;)

Iceland is so nicely different in many aspects nature-wise rough and hard mostly - The Black beaches are one of my preferred specialties,,,

Thomas, I must say that I am enjoying your trip immensely.  Thank you for sharing it with us.  The place names and route numbers you cite are great, as I can crank up Google maps and see where you have been.  Good stuff!

Thank you, Hugh. I enjoy it again selecting the pictures for this thread.

For exif information including GPS quick access to Google Maps I use the exif viewer plugin. Very helpful.
Just hover the mouse pointer over a picture, if it contains suitable EXIF information hit the little red [GPS].
