Touch The Rainbow

Landmannalaugar camp site on a showery summer day. As we were walking back to the car, the high sun at our backs created a low rainbow, seemingly very close to us.

Still Waters

February, and on the Laxá ("Salmon") river, ¹Þórufoss has frozen almost solid.

16m (54ft) tall and with a width of up to 30m (100ft), this lovely falls is easily accessible at any time of year.

A photo of a snow scene containing a frozen and snow-covered river surrounded by icy, dark rock. In the centre of the scene is a vertical drop covered in icicles which have frozen together to form a coating, which has then been powdered with snow on the horizontal ledges. Behind these ice formations is actually a waterfall, but none of the flowing water is visible in this shot.

    Black Diamonds

    At Fellsfjara, the black sand beach between Jökulsárlón and the sea, icebergs that have been swept out from the glacial lagoon by the tide are thrown back onto the beach by the wave action.

    The contrast between the volcanic sand and the chunks of glacial ice is striking, and it deserves its name of "Diamond beach."

    A photo of a landscape, with a clear blue sky overhead and sunlight is from the right. In the distance is a line of craggy mountains with a dusting of snow at the peaks. At their foot is a collection of farm buildings near the shores of a still fjord, which is reflecting the mountains. The foreground is a rugged, rocky waterline, with large stones and a fence outlining a gravel-covered area. On this level surface is an inviting wooden picnic bench.

    Sentinel

    This is lovely Lómagnúpur, one of the most recognizable mountains in , with drapes of mist hanging around it.
    These cloud formations are know as stacked lenticular and are created by strong winds.

    In the Icelandic Coat of Arms there are 4 protectors, and one of them is the giant who lives in Lómagnúpur, protecting the coast from all evil.

    A photo of an oddly shaped mountain, with a wide, flat, near-vertical front and sloping sides. The dark rock is mostly hidden by wreaths and scarves of cloud, one layer is quite low and obscures part of the lower slopes completely. Above the mountain top is a lovely, curved cap of cloud, picking up the hues of lowering sunlight. Distinct layers are visible in this disc-shaped hat.

    Trying to pack for a with a house full of is its own kind of torture.

    Between everyone needing their own ritualised items they can't cope without (eg pillows, random stuff) and everyone interrupting everyone elses train of thought and therefore everyone forgetting what they are on their way to get, and then forgetting what is and isn't packed.

    My brain feels as though it is actuslly wobbling on verge of explosion.

    Complementary Colours

    The cold cyan of the early morning contrasts with the orange tints of the rising sun. Mist clings to the slopes of Búlandstindur, and the waters of the fjord have a fragile ice crust at the shores.

    A photo of a sunrise. The sun itself isn't visible, but the colours in the clouds confirm that it's rising. The sky is pale cyan with blocks of dense cloud across a mountainous promontory on the right. A pointed mountain has a scarf of mist around it, but the peak is clear. At its foot are the dark waters of a still fjord. On the left is an icy shoreline with part of a road, on which the viewer is standing. It's very still, and calming.

    Good evening Squirrel Fans.

    Oooooh all these LOVELY characters!

    I can do some stonkers of quotes now😊

    Tonight’s quote describes my original copies of ‘The Colour of Magic’ & Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    “It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as "slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had been badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.”
    --(Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic)

    Thank you to everyone who has tracked me down to the Beige & shared TLs again, you are all truly lovely Peeps.
    Hopefully other friends will follow suite over the next few days.

    Where ever you are in your day I hope you’re enjoying it! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

    Little Orange Lighthouse

    Built in 1920 and rebuilt in 1930, this is the wonderfully tongue-twisting *Svalbarðseyrarviti. There are many such lighthouses around , and most of them are automatic and unmanned.

    This one is on the eastern shore of Eyjafjörður in north-eastern Iceland, just to the north of Akureyri.

    A photo of a snowy landscape. The sky above is mostly blue but with some long, heavy clouds casting shadows across the snowfields beneath. The distant mountains are almost completely snow-capped, with only a few dark ridges visible. Between the foreground and the opposite shore is a wide stretch of still, blue water. In the foreground is a small settlement, with scattered houses and an unusual, stubby lighthouse painted bright orange.
