The last couple of days were spent in the area of Akureyri. A couple of days ago, it rained the entire day. Yesterday morning, we were greeted with snow on the mountains. The wind was really pumping for the whole day. This led to some really great atmospheric images.

Later in the afternoon, I captured this image of the sunlight falling on the church in the foreground. In this image, it took a while to find the right spot where the church was not set against a bright sky. The city of Akureyri is across the fjord.

Close by, I found “Huglist”. I’m not sure of why this guy is here; perhaps this has something to do with the adjacent museum. He stands about 12 foot tall.

I made a trip to the waterfalls at Dettifoss. This is an image looking down on the falls. The amount of water flowing over the falls is huge, but this is difficult to appreciate from a still photo. I also made some videos clips, with audio, to record the power of all that water flowing down the gorge. This will have to wait until I get home.
