It was time to leave Dalvik for the trip to Grundarfjordur and Snaefelsnes. Leaving Dalvik, one has to join highway near Akureyri. The highway makes its way towards a mountain pass, where I made this image before sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n

From here the highway continued up to the mountain pass. At the summit, I turned off to make this image of the clouds over the nearby mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n

Coming down from the mountain pass, I stopped by a farm, where there was a large circular pen.<\/p>\n\n\n

It turned out that this was a sheep farm with holding pens for the sheep. In the following image, I noticed several sheep looking back at me.<\/p>\n\n\n

For the rest of the journey, the clouds lifted and moved away. In the late afternoon, I stopped at the edge of a fjord close to Grundarfjordur.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here there is a small river that flowed at the roadside, eventually meeting the fjord.<\/p>\n\n\n

From this location, I also managed to capture those distant mountains!<\/p>\n\n\n
