Just outside of Lake Myvatn their is a cave with a natural hot pool in it. The water was so crystal clear you could see straight to the bottom. It was such a peaceful place and I hated to have to leave. #Adventure #photocontest
Hverfjall, Iceland Heavy wind and snowing force the sand and dust into the len of my camera. Still able to get a decent picture of it. #landscape #nature #nationalpark #hiking #adventure #travel #red
Fabulous lake in Northern Iceland. Great for bird spotting. We were returning from a late night whale watching trip in Husavik and spotted this somewhat magical scene. It looks horribly processed. It actually isn't, the colours were amazing
