"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.

"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.

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

Clasp
The peaks of the mountain are holding the cloud as if between a finger and thumb, wisps of the mist trailing down the leeward side.

Polychromatic Panorama
A drizzly day in the Westfjords of #Iceland. When the clouds began to break we were rewarded with this resplendent double rainbow, so we just had to stop and admire its beauty.

Middle-earth
Sun-dappled, softened by moss, and still clothed in green.
The rocks are strewn with streams, waterfalls tumble from every peak.

Flour Power
Downstream from Dettifoss in north-eastern #Iceland is one of the deepest parts of Jökulsárgljúfur¹ canyon. This area is known as Hafragil ravine.
Hafragilsfoss roars within it, ≈ 27m (79ft) high and 91m (299ft) wide.
The white colouration of the water is caused by a suspension of rock flour, fine-grained particles of silt generated by the grinding of bedrock by glacial erosion.

The colours of a late September day, the waters whipped by the wind and the ragged clouds collecting above the distant range.
