With Liefur Very blue early morning light An icy, slushy parking lot Ţingvellir - home of the original parliament Churning blue waters Stark basalt cliffs Site of one of the old booths View from the Law Rock (Lögberg) Feeling a bit north of the wall Up into the rift View from the top of the Almannagjá rift A break in the clouds Looking at icy Ţingvallavatn, Iceland's largest natural lake Stubborn grasses Steam vents by Geysir Litli Geysir - so cute Waiting for the next spurt Strokkur churning the waters Outburst Spouting Draining back to the underground cavern Tiniest geyser of them all Geysir itself, nice and calm Looking back toward Strokkur Definitely looks volcanic Another Strokkur eruption Vibrant waters Crusty edges Mineral deposits Peering down into the underground chambers Continuing its show Gullfoss, the largest waterfall in Europe Upper falls Wider view Sun near its mid-day peak Sloping down to the falls The lower falls Creating lots of mist The whole thing First glimpse of Seljalandsfoss Ice crusted Seljalandsfoss A bit down from the main falls Side trickle Mostly ice in this section One house at the edge of the grass Gas prices that end in 8/10s instead of 9/10s! A very standard looking Icelandic church Reynisdrangur sea stacks at Vík Rough waters Black sand beach and sea foam Sand-crusted snow Looking back at industrial Vík Black and tan My room at Guesthouse Nýpugarđar
