Eastern Promise

A November day exploring the south-eastern coast of #Iceland from Mýrar to Djúpivogur.

12pm and we're approaching the mountains leading down to Stokksnes. Laxárdalur valley is visible between the peaks.
1pm, crossing Lón towards Svínhólafjall mountain.
2:30pm we reached Lækjarvík¹ with the mountains of Melrakkanes ahead.
4pm and sunset across Djúpivogur² harbour and a few of the peaks of Berufjörður.

A colour shot of a harbour nestled in a bay. The background is a mountain range, snow-capped and lit by sunset from behind the viewpoint. The water is ruffled and dark but reflects the sunlight colour. Many fishing boats are moored and the harbour is surrounded by small buildings.

A photo of a mountain range under a clearer sky but with a bank of cloud above the peaks. The heights are snow- and ice-capped and the sunlight is from the left this time. Closer to the viewpoint is brown vegetation strewn with rocks and studded with boulders.

A shot of an imposing mountain with a deep cleft in its flank, scooped out into a bowl by erosion. The shadows from the sunlight are highlighting the contours. There's a light dusting of snow on the top. The foreground is more grassland, mostly brown but some green with sheep and swans scattered across it.
