…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.

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.

Látrabjarg, Iceland (June 2019)

This was one of the most remarkable places I’ve ever been to. Birds were everywhere. I was looking for puffins when I took today’s photo. There are some in the photo, but they aren’t very easy to see. I think the birds that are easy to see are black-legged kittiwake. Correct me if I’m wrong.

After taking this photo I turned around to find these two just 10 feet or so from me.
