About this picture
They say if you don’t like the weather in Iceland, then just wait 5 minutes and it’ll change. It had been raining sideways basically all morning, so when I pulled off the road to get here I sat in my car thinking the rain would let up at any moment. Well, 45 minuets goes by and it’s still coming down, so I just decide to jump out of the car, shielding my lens from as much water as possible, run up the hill and get the shot. Of course, not long after getting back in the car the rain stops and the sun comes out

More Tips on Kirkjufell Mountain from Travelers
Kirkjufell
- Kirkjufell mountain is one of Iceland’s top attractions and quite possibly the most picturesque scene on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland. The mountain is right along the road, about 5 minutes outside the town of Grundarfjörður, and this photo was taken by walking down the path on the right side of the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall as you look up at the mountain.

- There are two ways through life, the way of Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you’ll follow. Grace doesn’t try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.

- I’ve seen so many pictures of this particular mountain in Iceland, but almost all of them capture it from the same perspective. I got lucky enough at 2:30 in the morning to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, which were not supposed to be out this time of year. All the way down by the ocean, my hands completely frozen, this mystical mountain showed a glimpse of beauty that I’ve never seen before.

- We took this picture while it was snowing and everyone had left because of the bad weather. The only thing about Iceland is that weather changes every 5 minutes. This was taken during Spring time and there still was snow and walking through waterfalls and streams is not a smart idea. Only do if the picture is going to be epic

- This incredible mountain is located in the North Western part of Iceland. We went there ending a week long trip around the country and man was this amazing to see with our own eyes. Next time we will try and spend the night there, will probably be cold but no doubt Northern Lights here would be absolutely worth it. Magic!

- Kirkjufell mountan or the church mountain. I hiked early in the morning to do some shots and the sun came just out, to illuminate it a bit. Sea level was low, so i could walk on the coast around it. There is a lot of pictures with the waterfall next on it, but i tried a bit different perspective :)
