Bladed

An October morning of hazy sunshine and showers. On the east coast of Iceland, making our way south, we stopped at Flögufoss waterfall.

Looking across the valley floor, I noticed that the light was perfect across the sharp rocky spines. Even the waterfall between the ridges was clear to see.

The foothills of Tó (1069 metres, 3507 feet) between Breiðdalsvík and Berufjörður in Fjarðabyggð, eastern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape. The sunlight is from the right and is highlighting layered rock at the base of an unseen mountain. Lower down the slopes, the hills soften and are covered in yellow-green vegetation. A waterfall is dropping between two sharp rock ridges, which resemble backbones.

River Curves

A storm forecast, our flight cancelled. If it hadn't been, we would never have seen this serene scene.

Following the swift river upstream, we paused where the early light kissing the clouds was reflected in the icy waters.

Facing south; dawn at 10:30am in mid-November over Núpufellshnjúkur in Eyjafjarðarsveit, north-eastern #Iceland.

Zoom in to view this at 100% if you can, it's very detailed.

A snow scene, with mountains in the distance. A river runs from centre left of the shot, winding its way towards the right and then down to the bottom centre left. The riverbanks are covered in snow and ice. Above a distant pointed mountain with the sunrise kissing its peak, a bank of cloud angles up from the right centre to the top left in a triangular wedge. It's lit by the rising sun in soft shades of orange and peach. The sky above it is hazy with icy cloud, and the flowing river below reflects the sunrise and sky.

#introduction
Hey everyone!

Mo here, onward and upwards as is always the hope and desire.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny living in #Scotland, with an #Iceland photography obsession. I used to do games graphics many moons ago. I love weather photography, long slow walks getting slower due to stuff, my wonderful sons and my lovely patient partner.

Here's a drop-dead gorgeous shot to start this. Lómagnúpur in southern #Iceland.

A photo of a beautiful mountaintop draped in misty cloud. Below, in the foreground, are scarves of mist above a dark ground surface. The peak of the mountain is peeking out between layers of vapour -above is a glorious crown of lenticular clouds tinted by the sunset into shades of orange, peach and grey. The sky above is clearing to cyan.

Autumnal

Between dark clouds, the sun spotlit the serried terraces tumbling down to the fjord far below.

High turrets of mountains displayed their ribs. A patchwork of highlights slid across soft hills lower down.

Everywhere around, the soothing sound of water splashing down to meet the fjord below.

October: Sunbeams, showers, and rainbows; it was a great day for photography. Mjóifjörður in eastern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a landscape, tall mountains surrounding a fjord far below. The sky is cloudy and some of them are dark and threaten rain, but there are also clear stretches, and the ground below is a patchwork of light and dark. The foreground is a natural terrace, the many rocky steps of the mountainside are clothed in gold and green. There are many small gravel channels carrying water downhill. It's very beautiful.

Iceland has topped the World Economic Forum’s gender equality rankings for the last 16 years. In our latest article, Joan Bailey explores insights from Secrets of the Sprakkar by Eliza Reid, which blends interviews with women across politics, business, agriculture, and the arts to understand how real progress happened.

Some of Iceland's secrets behind their success includes:
• Paid parental leave for both parents
• Subsidized childcare and strong public healthcare
• Corporate gender quotas and high workforce participation
• A powerful history of collective action — including the 1975 “Women’s Day Off”

These efforts resulted in a stronger economy, growing population, and a society focused on how how to achieve equality.

Japan continues its own journey toward gender equality, Iceland stands as a valuable role model on effective principles.

Iceland's Secrets

Iceland has topped the World Economic Forum's index on global gender equality for the last 16 years. A compelling book gives unique insights into how this small nation on the edge of Europe became the world’s leader in gender parity.

OTD 2019

We decided to spend our birthdays in Iceland that year.
My partner's is the day before mine, so this is what we did on my birthday that year.

Pic 1: From Varmahlíð, after a good breakfast we started out along Skagafjörður

Pic 2: Through Tröllaskagi to Öxnadalur and lovely Hraundrangi

Pic 3: Arriving in Akureyri, the traffic lights love us

Pic 4: Akureyri from the opposite side of Eyjafjörður, with Hlíðarfjall above

Perfect! 🎉

Four colour photos of snow scenes. This one is of a wide expanse of water which has frozen. There are pressure ridges and cracks in the ice, suggesting that there might be flow beneath the ice. A strip of golden pasture land is visible on the other side. In the distance is a range of snow-clad mountains with fluffy white cloud above them. The rest of the sky is clear cyan, and this is reflected in the ice.

A mountainside covered in snow and ice, with farm buildings near the foot. The tall mountain is ridged and eroded, these contours are highlighted by the snow. In the centre at the top is a lovely pointed spire of rock, surrounded by other peaks forming a ridge along the apex. The sunlight from the left is catching some, but not all, of the contours.

A road into a large town. Piles of snow are heaped beside the tarmac and pavements have been cleared. Streetlights are lining the route and in the distance is an impressive mountain range, white-coated with snow and ice. Near to the viewpoint is a traffic signal, showing red, and the light has been painted into a red heart. The sky is mostly clear and the sunlight is from the right.

Finally, a shot of a large town on the opposite side of a body of water. The surface of the fjord is ruffled by wind and is blue in reflection of the sky. Sunlight is from the left. Right from the waterline, the town is busy with buildings and infrastructure. Right of centre is an impressive twin-spired church. There are residences and other structures as far away as the foothills of a large mountain. A road can be seen climbing the mountain towards the ski slopes.

My old folks want to break free from #facebook, and i'm helping them get started on the #fediverse. Yay!
Till now I've made them accounts on #mobilizon for groups and events, #loops for short-form video, and #peertube for long-form video.
Now they're getting a #mastodon account to tie it all together, and make conversation.

Question is; on which mastodon instance should they sign up, and who should they follow?
Their main interests are icelandic horses, sheep, sheep dogs / herding dogs and general small-scale animal husbandry. They live in arctic Norway, and their english language is decent.

I've found no starterpacks of accounts about farming, rural life, sheep husbandry, horse riding or dog training. (https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/)

Could y'all help them get a great start to federated living by giving some recommendations?
