Day 7 – Iceland Trip 2014
Yet another early start, we had to be on the bus and off for 7:45 am. I wasn't bothered as we were going to be re-visiting some of the locations we had visited last year.
First stop was Geysir, we wanted to get there before the morauding crowds of tourists arrived. I was frustrated with my images from Geysir last year. I was so in awe of the spectacle in front of the camera, that I didn't notice the background of the images (basically it looked like a geyser sitting in front of a housing estate). This year I was determined to do it right.....
The sheer force of this piece of nature is unbelievable.
Second stop of the day was Gullfoss. A large waterfall. We visited this place last year. Fortunately last year it wasn't too windy, this year .... flipping heck it was cold. The wind was so strong at times, that the tripods had to be ditched for the fear of the camera being blown over.

From Gullfoss we moved across to þingvellir national park.

When we visited this location last year, one of our entourage decided to reveal just a bit more of a crack than what was already evident in þingvellir. Dave was high off the copious amounts of skittles he had consumed. Welshot monkey who is now known as 'Spank', decided to pay homage to Dave and recreate the fateful day Julie Steele got more than an eyeful (Scarred for life!!)

Another early start tomorrow, so only a short update today.

A Brilliant one of Geysir Patrick Yates … I only wish I could have seen it for myself, but thanks for posting it for me to at least see it second hand 🙂
