Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss according to Wikipedia (a scant entry, but I’m sure it’ll expand).

It goes without saying that I am rather impatient when it comes to posting pictures. (No, really?) My goal is usually to upload the full batch of pictures to Flickr BEFORE writing about them, so I can link to the batch in my text. But that idea usually flies straight out the window with the enthusiasm generated by the pictures themselves. And, in case it’s not apparent, I am wildly enthusiastic about Iceland and I would go work for the Iceland Tourist Commission in a heartbeat if they pay to send me there!

It’s not as if I’ve never seen a waterfall before, or a glacier, or majestic scenery. I have, but Iceland is different! My photos simply do not do this country justice, but they’re all I’ve got to show you (more videos to come, though); they’ll have to do.

I’m throwing all my Iceland photos into one set, so if you just want to view photos I’ve uploaded today, they’re here.

la Tour Eiffel

The challenge with the Eiffel Tower is being at the right angle to get more than an outline. I took this picture at a lower angle, along the bank of the Seine.

we laughed and laughed over this one

We laughed and laughed over this one… it was in the middle of “nowhere”, along the road north of Reykjavik toward Akranes.
