The end of an adventure

I am back in the USA after a successful stint in Portugal and Iceland. Here is the round up of Iceland pictures:Skogafoss
Feeds into the ocean
Glacier!



Church organs? or Basalt rock
Black sand + stone beach
Waterall from **behind** the waterfall.

Harbor at Grundarsfjord

Sunset at Campset
Ram playing cards - each ram gets his "stats" printed under his picture. EVERY store was sold out.
Stables @ Langamyri
Manure excavation + swamp
Lower stables + maternity ward
Sheep out in pasture
One of 3 rhubarb fields. Look how tall they grow by the time of the first harvest.
Clearly Matthew is shrinking.
Home for Kjartan and Doro

Island

3 weeks passed already in Iceland, only 2 more remain. Here are some pictures from the first part of my stay:

Nearby waterfall
Viking turf houses!
Mt Hekla! the Volcano we can see from our front yard. Literally due to erupt any month now...
Desertscape of Iceland
Laura and I at Gulfoss, we stood right in front of the falls and asked a man to take our picture. He picked the sky for a background instead of this:
Gulfoss waterfalls

Geyser at Geysir

A rare patch of forest
Reykjavik keeps its men informed
