I was travelling through Iceland in the fall of 2016, we stopped at a volcanic crater called, Kerið, just before sunset. Iceland is a magical place in November. There is just enough daylight to stay sane (sunrise is around 9.30am and sunset around 4pm) but at the same time sun is always very low in the sky making every minute feel like golden hour. The last 30mins before sunset, which is when this photo was taken, was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen.

This photo was taken along the scenic drive on Route 417 in the Reykjanesfólkvangur nature reserve in Iceland. The area features lava formations, crater lakes and geothermic fields, but the main attraction to us was the incredible mountain backdrop that was presented here.⛰Read more details from our team about visiting Glymur Waterfall on our website - https://globecityguide.com/destinations/europe/iceland/attractions/reykjanesfolkvangur

One of the last auroras for this winter. Driving a country road, while sky started to explode, so a stop was a must. Night was dark and F4 lens needed an extra ISO to make it work. This is what came out....shadows were lifted and brightness also a bit, exposure worked with 20 seconds so there are startrails visible if zoomed in.

March 2017, on the eve of my 28th Birthday, I decided to try and catch the Norther Lights for the first time. We sat in the national park Þingvellir, just outside Reykjavik for a few hours, freezing, unsure what we were looking for. Then right in the distance I saw a very feint white light appear in the sky where the clouds were just a short hour ago. I pointed it out just as people started to stand up and get excited. The lights started here and danced above our heads and over to the other side of the hill we were standing on. I cried.

Geologically Almannagjá is a part of the North Atlantic rift system that stretches to the south pole in the Atlantic ocean. The length of the Almannagjá gorge is eight kilometers and one of the interesting places where you can see tectonic plates drift apart. But you would, unfortunately, have to stay there for a few hundred years to see the movement. The cliffs that tower over the walking path tell a long, complex and fascinating geological story.

I was going through some old photos and I found this shot from the first time we landed in Iceland. We drove for about 40 min and just randomly chose a turn-off. The area looked beautiful but pretty flat and we just happened to stumble upon this beauty. I knew right then that I had fallen in love with this place, I was hooked.

On a mission to start crossing some must sees off of my bucket list, I booked a quick trip to Iceland to chase the northern lights. Turns out, I barely had to leave Reykjavik and I caught my first glimpse on my first night about 10 minutes outside of town.

On August, I spent about two weeks in Iceland and Greenland. This glacier was the first astonishment as we arrived in Iceland. The first time in my life sitting so close to the glacier and touch the cold water. Not just cold but extremely freezing. Still, an unbelievably beautiful scenery with no doubt.

It was my last day in Iceland. My girlfriend and I were walking around and try to discover something new. We found this car alone on this big parking and the sunrise happened at the same time. It was one of those moments you don’t live every day.

We were doing a road trip around the famous Ring Road in Iceland. We were snowed in at a farm that we were staying over at for the night. As we had to wait for the roads to be cleared we had some time to kill and went for a short walk outside. This was literally the view from the backyard of the farm. This for me was the epitome of Iceland; awe-inspiring, breathtaking and just out of this world. There’s beauty around every corner.

I took this picture during my trip in Iceland, near by a hotel I spent the night. We could see the Eyjafjallajökull volcano near by. I remember I smiled at this basketball court, wondering if anyone ever played here :D No hoop ! But it was special and the sunset here was so beautiful !

A shot at Brúarfoss in Iceland. The waterfall is slightly tricky to find (crossing a bridge where it says, one may not cross, and then a short hike). This particular shot was taken using a super-tele lens to get close to the falls. Not the most powerful waterfall on Iceland, but sure one of the most beautiful ones, as there is mostly glacier water coming down, which gives it its fantastic colors.

It was our penultimate day in Iceland and the weather was really stormy and snowy in Reykjavík. It was cold and the wind was extemly uncomfortable but i really wanted to go to the Hallgrímskirkja to have a view about the northernmost capital of the world. The church has little stone windows so the wind was still blowing and gets stronger (and on a 75m tower you definitely feel the power of the wind much stronger anyway!)So it was impossible to photography and i though after minutes of trying i must go. But at once it was complete calm. I was alone and had this beautiful and colourful view.

My camera was out of battery as I have taken so many photos as I drive along the road in Iceland. I ended up using iPhone and it turns out to be my favorite photo. More Iceland story at: https://www.roadtripwithraj.com/on-the-road/2018/2/2/i-am-learning-to-trust-the-road-ahead-wherever-it-may-lead

Harpa Concert Hall at Sunset - Modern, glass honeycomb concert hall & conference center, home to the Icelandic national opera & symphony. On this day, you can see melting icebergs outside of the entrance, welcoming guests of the Arctic Circle climate action conference.

Back in early March, I had spent the morning with Icelandic ponies and the afternoon wandering around Seljalandfoss and Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. Both are beautiful and situated close by each other. This photo was taken just when the moon was rising and peaking through at the top.

here is the famous waterfall in Iceland. Ok one of many! This is a throwback to June. And I can tell you, it wasn’t very summery. In fact, it was damn cold outside and it rained on us every single day! I was pretty surprised it didn’t snow this day. My hands were actually numb from from holding the Canon but I managed! It was well worth it! This is a fantastic place. I highly recommend the trip if you can make it. I hope to get there in the winter for the northern lights. The spent the whole day just on the ring with plenty to see. Five days surely was just enough leaving me hungry for more!

I got completely soaked taking this photo. #1 top travel tip I could ever offer about Iceland is if you must go during the summer (which you should not) wait until 10pm-7am to go see everything. The sun is always light enough and you will see the most majestic places all to yourself. This was about 2 am behind one of my favorite waterfalls on earth. 🇮🇸🙌

winter visit to one of the crowdiest waterfalls on the south of Iceland. There was a moment ....light moment of not so many people…can you see the couple standing almost behind the waterfall?
