The turquoise water at Sigölduglúfur results from all the silica it absorbs as it seeps from the hydroelectric reservoir and through the lava fields before emerging here. #photography #smartphone #landscape #Iceland

A half dozen cascades emerge from a cliffside of basalt to plunge and join the bright blue waters below.

More puffins, anyone? I caught one in flight here. Puffins are not graceful fliers. They launch, it seems, using sheer determination. Imagine a penguin flapping so hard and so fast that it lifts off. Something like that. Puffins may be cute, but they have grit. #photography #Iceland #bird #puffin

Three puffins perch on the edge of a grassy cliffside. In the background, a fourth puffin has launched itself toward the sea.

A wide angle shot of a flat waterfall with multiple small cascades with a sunset in the background. The water has a beautiful milky blue color.

Harpa 3/3. Reykjavik, Iceland, July 2025.

#architecture #urban #buildings #iceland #reykjavik #photography

Photograph of the exterior wall of a concert hall, taken outside at eye level in front of the building. The top part of the wall is made of geometric shaped glass panels, mostly emerald green, some of different colours like purple and blue. The bottom part of the wall is at a diagonal angle with the top and is made of rectangular glass panels, reflecting a slightly distorted view of Reykjavik and people walking outside. People inside the building are also visible through the glass.

Photograph of three windows with white frames, in a wall of black wood planks, under a dark brown wooden roof. The window on the left has green Del Monte fruit salad tin cans piled inside on the windowsill. The central one has bags of coffee on the left side, red vegetable tin cans and boxes of oatmeal cereal with a baby face piled on the right side. Small objects hard to identify can be seen in the window on the right.

I felt motivated this morning to revisit my photo catalog from Iceland, including re-touching some edits that were lost to an older computer years ago. This is my new spin on an old photo of Kirkjufelfoss from 2019.

#Iceland #Photography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of the iconic Kirkjufelfoss Waterfall in Iceland. The waterfall is shown in a long exposure, with water streaming over the ledge and forming a triple waterfall into the stream below. The prominent peak of Mt. Kirkjufel is seen in center frame, blanketed by an expanse of green to yellow grass under a blue sky.

"Fuglabjarg" is a great literal and metaphorical word, but this piece on Iceland's geographic names becoming obsolete because of climate change is really sad. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/opinion/iceland-climate-change.html

#Iceland tested a reduced workweek 2014-2019:

”A pair of trials covering 1.3 per cent of the Icelandic workforce revealed that slashing weekly hours led to better employee #wellbeing, with less stress and burnout, while #productivity stayed the same or improved. The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“
