Here are some photos from the first two days of our recent trip.
The first couple are from the top of Hallgrímskirkja, the tallest church in Iceland. It gives a perfect view of all of Reykjavík and the surrounding harbour and mountains.
The day after we arrived, we went out to the country to ride the Icelandic horses. They were such beautiful horses! We rode through some nearby fields and through the base of a couple of small mountains near the stables.
The rest of the day was spent driving along the ring road on the way to Vík, stumbling upon waterfalls all along the way. Pictured below, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Everything, especially the land around the waterfalls, was so green! It was unlike any other place I've ever been.
(If you look very closely, you can see the sheep grazing at the top of this set of falls)
I'm in love with your photos!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. xoxo
Thank you Charlyn! You're so sweet! And thank you for the welcome home, too! I'm looking forward to our next brunch, (which we should plan soon!) xox
Deleteis this real life? love =]
ReplyDeleteSeriously, and it didn't feel like it, either!
DeleteWow what a place, those waterfalls are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThey were even better in person!
DeleteI love the little horsies! I cannot believe how green Iceland is! So perfect! I love the ominous clouds in the second last photograph and I trust Chris was a great navigator!
ReplyDeleteI know, and they were the sweetest little things! I think that Chris and I got the perfect horses for us. Every time I stood beside mine, it would nuzzle me so hard I'd almost fall over! And Chris' never stopped eating, (or drinking while we were crossing the river!) hahaha!
DeleteChris was an amazing navigator! And he had a gigantic map that we really ended up needing, to see all of those tiny side roads we took!
incredible! what was the temperature like there?
ReplyDeleteIt was apparently warmer than usual, (around 14 degrees most days), and sunny the whole time! In 11 days it only REALLY rained once! The rest of the time it was sunny and a little cloudy! But the breeze off the ocean felt chilly.
DeleteAmazing!! The falls looked particularly dream-like... Looking forward to seeing more. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish! I still have lots, and even some slide film to still be developed!
