Troll Peninsula

February, my birthday. We spent the day on the road between Varmahlíð and Akureyri through dramatic Tröllaskagi in northern #Iceland.

2pm and we've reached Krókárdalur, a lovely river canyon with hiking trails.
2:30, wisps of cloud hiding in the folds of Kaldbaksdalur.
3pm, a farm nestled on the flanks of the wonderfully named Gloppufjall.
3:15, we reach Öxnadalur with conical Hraundrangi towering above.

A mountain ridge with a distinctive conical centre peak, all lit from the left. The foreground is a road cleared through deep snow towards some farm buildings. There are bare trees scattered about, some in obviously planted lines. It's quite serene.

Another snowy mountain flank with the same intense blue sky above. The folds in the mountainside are accentuated by the light from the right. Some farm buildings are standing on the flank, lending scale. The foreground snow field is smooth and untrammelled, with fence posts half-buried in it.

Another snowy mountain flank, this time with an unseen river running through it. The sky still cloudy but the valley is sunlit from the left. Dark rock strata are showing through the snow and ice. In a cleft of the valley, some wispy cloud is hanging, its top lit by the sun.

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape under a slightly cloudy sky. The peaks rise on either side of a road with side barriers in places due to the sheer drop. Stretching ahead of the viewpoint is a valley, zigzagging into the distance. The entire scene is covered in snow with dark rock showing through. The sky is intense cyan blue.
