Bad weather in the morning and when looking at the Iceland weather forecast page, it doesn’t seem to get better. We’ll skip Snæfellsnes for today and try tomorrow with the hope of some better weather. Instead we’re going to the palces which were planned for day 3, Glanni waterfall and Hraunfossar. Arriving at Glanni after […]

Ein paar ausgewählte Reiseerfahrungen wo es auch um die Fotografie ging
Day-1: Snorrastaðir
It’s just a 3 hour 15 minutes flight from Hamburg to Keflavik. The flight was slightly late and the baggage reclaim took very long before the luggage was on the conveyor but finally we got it. The guy from the rental car company picked us up and we went to his office to pickup the Suzuki Grand […]
Some missing gems from 2012 New York trip
Ich habe einige schöne Bilder von meiner New York-Reise im Januar 2012 vermisst. Bei der Durchsicht meiner älteren Bilder, um zu sehen, was für den Lightroom 6-Fotozusammenführungstest verwendet werden könnte, fand ich viele Panoramen, die ich nicht durchlaufen habe, und daneben auch einige normale Bilder. Hier sind einige von ihnen, weitere sind auf der SmugMug-Seite […]
Planning Day 17: Ásólfsskáli to Reykjavík
Drive from Ásólfsskáli to Reykjavík via Þingvellir. Distance: 139 km Time to drive: 1:50 h Þingvellir Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological importance and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. It lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is at the […]
Planning Day 16: Landmannalaugar
Day trip to Landmannalaugar. Distance: 290 km Time to drive: 6:14 h We changed from station car to a SUV so this trip shouldn’t be an issue. One day in Landmannalaugar. Long driving time though but hope the area will be worth to do it. The area is huge so below viewpoint is just an example […]
Planning Day 15: Great Geysir, Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss
Day trip to the Great Geysir, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss and the famous wrecked airplane. Distance: 286 km Time to drive: 4:04 h Great Geysir The Great Geysir, is a geyser in southwestern Iceland. [singlepic id=5815 w=800 h=500 float=none] Gullfoss waterfall Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. […]
Planning Day 14: Hali to Ásólfsskáli
Drive from Hali to Ásólfsskáli via Vik and Dyrhólaey. Distance: 268 km Time to drive: 3:26 h Jökulsárlón Jökulsárlón (literally “glacial river lagoon”) is a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park. It is one of the top must sees in Iceland. [singlepic id=5809 w=800 h=500 float=none] Morning […]
Planning Day 13: Skaftafell national park
Day trip to the Skaftafell national park with Svartifoss. Distance: 139 km Time to drive: 1:37 h Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon There is another glacier lagoon besides the Jökulsárlón which should not be that crowded. Definitely worth to visit. Kviarjökull The Kviarjökull has a ice front that is very close to the ring road 1. [singlepic id=5826 […]
Planning Day 12: Djúpivogur to Hali
Drive from Djúpivogur to Hali. Distance: 160 km Time to drive: 1:54 h Djúpivogur is also just an interim stop to avoid too many kilometers traveling at one day. Option in Djúpivogur would be to visit Papey Island before leaving towards Hali as the distance is only 160 km for this day and all is just to follow […]
Planning Day 11: Myvatn to Djúpivogur
Drive from Myvatn to Djúpivogur. Distance: 300 km Time to drive: 4:30 h Two or basically three option for this day drive. According to maps, the Detifoss and Selfoss can be reached from both sides, therefore it might make sense to get only to one spot and walk to the other instead of investing another […]
