Iceland

It was windy that day too.

you definitely do not want to touch this hot water.

Visiting a handicraft workshop store at Geysir Hot Springs.

Falls called Gullfos. Fos in Icelandic means waterfall. The next photo is the story of this falls.

Gullfoss (Golden Falls) is a massive waterfall on the river Hvita in western Iceland

The falls are considered one of Iceland's most treasured natural wonders, with a name inspired by the phenomenon when glacial sediment in the water turns the falls golden in the sunlight.

Hotel Selfoss where we stayed in the town of Selfoss/Hveragerdi

The weather did not cooperate this afternoon. The majority of the trip we had great weather for late June early July weather. Selfoss is the largest town in South Iceland and the gateway to all that this area has to offer. The population is 6,300.

This next grouping of photos is driving in south Iceland . Taking in the landscape of south Iceland, the river gorges, the farmland and the waterfalls.

Water falls or Foss in Icelandic dot the landscape.

Iceland in Summer is so green really this should be Greenland and Greenland the country should be Iceland.

Icelanders are required to register their religion with the state, with almost three-quarters of the population affiliated to the established Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland

Not so long ago, churches across the country were left with their doors open and visitors could stop by for a look or a quiet moment of contemplation. Unfortunately, due to the disrespectful actions of a few, they are now locked and if you wish to have a look inside, you will have to check the local opening hours or mass schedule.
