…I was cruising around the Westfjords of Iceland in a rented campervan. This photo was from a road called Örlygshafnarvegur shortly before arriving at Látrabjarg.

Mary and her little lambs (June 2019)

There are about 15 sheep to every human in the Westfjords of Iceland. Outside of Ísafjörður, the largest town in the Westfjords, you’ll likely encounter a far higher percentage than that. You can drive for hours without seeing another human, but not more than a few minutes between sheep.

near Esjurætur Hiking Center, Iceland (June 2019)

Turns out, there are a few trees in Iceland.

Today’s photo hurts me a bit. While the scene was beautiful, and I love to hike, my back was killing me when I took this, so I could only go for a couple hundred yards before heading back to my rental van for some back rest. I would have loved to have hiked more on this trip.
