A threatening sky, albeit with some sun rays, over a bleak landscape. It all looks so lonely, Gudrun.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks a lot, Amelia! You can see why the vast Icelandic highlands are uninhabited:-) They are only accessible for 3-4 months in summer, there are a few huts and SAR are patrolling the roads.

Hallo Gudrun, ein schon fast etwas unheimliches Bild. Sehr beeindruckend...

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Wir hatten super Sicht, es wirkt nur rangzoomt und im Gegemlicht unheimlich:-)

A moody shot in mono of this desolate landscape. Love the light beams. You certainly did some exploring here.

Best Wishes, Herb

Thank you, Herb! We did one of the famous highland crossings (by bus) and had qute a few photo stops because visibility was very good.

A really great B/W shot. I can imagine a place that would be a photographers Paradise.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Steve Paxton ^club

Thanks you so much, Steve! In the sort of weather we had, it was fantastic. In rain and bad visibility you wouldn't see much but it would still be fun, especially the fords which can get difficult with lots of water;-)

A superb shot Gudrun. Iceland has a lot of active volcanoes. I remember the one a few years ago, 2011 I think, when the ash disrupted so many air flights over Europe.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Many thanks, Rosa! Oh yes, the unpronouncable Eyafjallajökull;-) That was actually just a small eruption, the two next ones (Grimsvötn and Bardarbunga) were much larger but didn't disrupt flights.

Hier ist SW eine gute Wahl. Das ist ja ein riesegrossen Vulkan. Gibt es davon so obenansichten?

Gudrun ^club has replied to Ko Hummel ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Ko! Gegenüber denen auf Hawaii ist er klein;-) Auf dieser Karte kannst du im Luftbild reinzoomen (im NW vom Vatnajökull unterhalb Askja und westlich von Holuhraun):

Schildvulkan, dieses Begriff kannte ich nicht.
S/W bei solchen Wolken muss ja fast sein :-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to uwschu ^club

Schönen Dank, Uwe! Mauna Loa auf Hawaii ist der bekannteste, Schildvulkane sind eher flach (wie ein Schild) und dafür groß...

Dank dir, poly! Jaja, die Trolle...Von der Aussprache wird's dir noch viel schummriger...;-) Wart nur, bis der nächste unaussprechliche Vulkan ausbricht und sich die Nachrichtensprecher abmühen;-)
