Photograph of a brown wooden double door with diamond-patterned glass panels, opaque blueish white and reflecting buildings, framed by a stone wall. The archway above the door features additional smaller diamond-patterned windows and is reflecting the blue sky and building roofs.

Holtasóley (Dryas octopetala)

#bloomscrolling #flowers #wildflowers #iceland #photography #macro

Photograph of an open flower of mountain avens (Dryas octopetala), with eight white petals and multiple yellow stamens and pistils in the centre. A black domestic fly is resting on the centre, facing the camera. The flower is growing on a rock covered with grey and green moss, and several green wavy leaves can be seen around the flower as well. Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) is also growing there, with two small branches and one dark red globular fruit half hidden in the moss. The blurred background is green.

Ok, more of a stream, but hey, Iceland :-)
Rauðfeldsgjá gorge.

A narrow canyon with steep, moss-covered walls and a small stream cascading through the rocky terrain.

Inclusiveness

September 2025: There are lots of rainbow arches and pavements around Iceland, but this has to be my favourite.

The LGBTQ+ pride colours changing to transgender pride and back again at the far end is a clever idea.

The location of many happy marriages, I'm sure, this pavement can be found at Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of #Iceland.

#TravelThursday #Iceland2025 #Photography

A colour photo of a street on a rainy day. There are puddles on the pavement and a few leaves are scattered around. There are shops along the street with lit windows. A rainbow-coloured block pavement is curving away from the viewer. At the halfway point, it changes to the blue, pink and white of the transgender flag, then back to rainbow at the far end of the curve.

This time of year, when the ravens congregate in town before scattering into the countryside for the summer, I tend to stalk their regular hangout spots. #raven #ravens #iceland #nature

A bunch of ravens hanging out on steps over a fence. The fence is long gone, but the gate and the steps are still there.

Two ravens in a tree, glowering at the photographer

A raven on a fence post and another flying behind it

Five ravens all lined up in a row on a hill.

Golden Crown

15:30 late afternoon, mid-November in eastern Iceland, and the sun is setting in the south-west.

Looking north across Berufjörður, the mountains behind us are casting shadows onto the peaks on the opposite side of the fjord. Gradually they have crept up the faces of the mountains, and I have watched, spellbound.

A bizarre mountain named Stöng has a strange spiked pinnacle. For a perfect moment, only the very tip of it is sunset-lit.

#MountainsMonday #Iceland #Photography

A colour photo of a mountain beneath a slightly cloudy sky. The flanks are snowy but ridges of dark rock have been scoured clear of ice by the winds. The shoulders of the mountain are at roughly 25 degrees to the horizontal, and the top is a volcanic plug with upright sides and a jagged top. Low sunlight from behind the viewpoint is being obscured by a range of mountains at the viewer's back, and only this craggy tip is sunlit.

A puffin stands on a grassy cliff edge overlooking the ocean. The rocky cliff is partially covered in moss, and the sea is calm in the background.

Middle-earth

Sun-dappled, softened by moss, and still clothed in green.
The rocks are strewn with streams, waterfalls tumble from every peak.

The mountainside leading down to Mjóifjörður¹ in eastern #Iceland.

#SilentSunday #StillerSonntag #Iceland2025 #LandscapePhotography #WeatherPhotography #Mosstodon

A colour photo of a landscape under a cloudy sky. In the distance is a body of water surrounded by a line of mountains lit by patches of sunlight. The viewpoint is from a craggy horizontal ledge studded with rocks and carpeted in green vegetation. Streams are running down through it and a dirt road is on the left.

An old pillbox from World War II. I had to look up what they call these things in English. I did not expect it to be "pillbox".
