Iceland

Hay that has been cut and rolled into plastic for protection from the long cold winter.
We leave Stykkisholmur and drive towards Akureyri situated in the northern fjords just 40 miles from the Arctic Circle.
The countryside is spectacular driving across it. I really think that Iceland is more green than Ireland in the summer months.
There is so much water in Iceland from the melting  snow year round. Yes that is me on the bridge.
A foursome out for the day with a picnic near the river. Looks like they have everything needed for a fun afternoon.
Tired of riding that bike all the time.  Make it into art. At least someone did.

The ever changing landscape of Iceland.  Around every corner is something new.
You can see how thick the ice is still from the winters snow pack..
Looking for a fixer upper that is leaning a little.

Sometimes you do not see another car  on the highway for hours sometimes.  Just you and beautiful rugged nature.

We are now in Akureyri.  This building has some strange architectural features. It appears the building is shifting and it was designed this way to have this appearance.
This photo was taken at 1:30 in the morning. Look how light it is in late June.

Goðafoss is a waterfall in northern Iceland. It is located along the country's main ring road at the junction with the Sprengisandur highland road. The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 36 feet over a width of 90 feet The river rises in the Icelandic highlands and runs through the Bárdardalur valley.

I wish we had a water fall like this in  Southern California where I live. We sure can use the water. In Iceland water flows every where it seems.
