Lagoon Fjord

October 2025: Lónsfjörður is a shallow tidal lagoon and part of an unique coastal environment, a mix of black sand beaches, rivers, and wetlands ideal for wildlife.

This part of Lónsöræfi (Lón Nature Reserve) supports a range of migratory birds including whooper swans in the summer and autumn, some of which can be seen in this shot.

Eystrahorn in eastern #Iceland, is 756 metres/2,480 feet tall.

A colour photo of a landscape with a body of water in the foreground. A large mountain is on the opposite side, a cap cloud hugging its peaks. The sky beyond this cloud is clear cyan.

A colour photo of a river with a bridge across it, under a clear cyan sky. The suspension bridge is painted white and one of the towers is visible. In the distance is a snowy-capped mountain. The river in the foreground is softly rippled and reflects the scene as wavy abstracts.

Headland

Stokksnes on the south-eastern #Icelandic coast, including Vestrahorn mountain.

October 2025.

A colour photo of a beach with shallow waves. The sky is cloudy but with large patches of cyan sky. On the other side of the water a jagged mountain of brown rock is visible, a cap of cloud at the top and the sunlight touching the foot.

Welcome To Narnia

Clothed in autumnal colours, streams tumbling beside us, waterfalls on every steep rockface, and the beauty of the long fjord leading to the sea. Magical.

Fjarðardalur, the "Fjord Valley," softly lit by sunlight from behind us and patched by cloud shadows ahead.

Looking like a scene from a fantasy novel, this is Mjóifjörður in eastern #Iceland.

Edit: Thanks to @logi for the heads up.

#MountainsMonday #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography #Photography

A colour photo of a landscape of steep mountains on either side of a long fjord. Heavy cloud above is creating areas of sunlit rock between the shadows. The foreground is a rocky plateau with golden brown vegetation and streams running through it, brightly lit by sunlight from behind the viewpoint.

Playtime

Nobody is quite sure why bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales choose each other's company. Perhaps they find food more easily, or the large pods provide safety.

All I know is that one beautiful day in September, they followed our boat for half an hour as we were whale-watching.

They were leaping through the water of Skjálfandi bay with joy, and just because they could. What more reason could they need?

Húsavík, NE #Iceland.

#MeerMittwoch #OceanWednesday #Iceland2025 #Photography

A colour photo of a stretch of sea under a clear sky with fluffy clouds. A range of mountains is in the distance, dropping to the coastline. In the centre of the shot is a group of dolphins and whales, the dolphins in the lead. Several of the sleek bodies can be seen above the water as they are leaping.

The Swans of Lagoon Fjord

Whooper swans gathering near the shoreline at the foot of Eystrahorn.
Reyðarártindur (771m/2530ft) is almost hidden in the mist.

Hvalnes Nature Reserve, Lónsfjörður in south-eastern #Iceland.

#Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography #Photography

A colour photo of a body of water and a mountain in the distance with most of its summit hidden behind cloud. Above the dense cloudbank, the sky is clear cyan. The water is ruffled by the wind and there are white birds near the shore.

"No Trees in Iceland"

Thickly vegetated with rowan and birch, Trostansfjörður is a very isolated and peaceful place. Sunndalur was heavy with mist and low cloud when we visited but the autumnal colours were still clearly visible.

The fjord is thought to be named after Saint Drostan (sometimes spelled as Throstan) of #Scotland, a disciple of St. Columba.

The waterfall is unnamed.

Vesturbyggð, Westfjords of #Iceland.

#FoggyFriday #ForestFriday #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A colour photo of a landscape crowded with trees and shrubs. The natural woodland is covering the hillsides which are misty in the distance. A small waterfall is dropping through a valley, only just perceived due to the low cloud and fog. The sky is grey but the colours shine through.

"The heavens have opened and out of the blue
Heralded, like a queen, across the night
The Northern Lights come marching into view"
- Cecil Day-Lewis

Red #aurora is quite rare and usually associated with intense solar activity. When charged particles react with less concentrated oxygen at greater altitudes (300-400 km/180-250 mi) it glows at higher wavelengths, creating red.

North-eastern #Iceland.

#AuroraTuesday #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Iceland2025 #Photography

A colour photo of a dark sky full of stars. At the bottom is the silhouette of the ground surface, some low level lights are visible from distant objects. In the centre of the shot is a wavy line of bright aurora, the lower edge is strongly green and the upper parts are distinctly red. There are bars and lines within the bands of colour and, oddly, they aren't vertical.

Solitaire

A lone photographer captures the beauty of the mountains on a cloudy day, not knowing that they themselves are being captured by me.

The slopes of Kambhorn (650m/2133ft) and the Viking helmet of Brunnhorn (435m/1427ft) in Stokksnes, south-eastern #Iceland.

#MountainsMonday #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography #Photography

A colour photo of an impressive mountain range. The peaks are hidden behind a cap of dense cloud but blue sky can be seen above. The lower slopes of the scree are sunlit and the crags are distinct. The foreground is black sand dunes and in the centre near the bottom is a solitary figure.
