Stretching away into the silence - a photo on Flickriver

Stretching away into the silence

            Midnight in July on Diamond Beach at Jokulsarrlon. After a wonderful couple of hours spent photographing the chunks of ice washed up on the shore I turned towards the camper van with a smile on my face.  I think on reflection this might have been my favourite moment of 2019, a year which has seen a mixture of highs and lows.  The future looks much better now though.

Iceland is full of huge lonely vistas, and the pylons which stretch away across the empty landscape towards the glacier add to the sense of isolation.   This is a place I'm very keen to return to with a more focused itinerary and a 4 wheel drive now that we have toured the ring road.  I've never seen anywhere quite like it before.   What an amazing country!
