Westfjords, Iceland (June 18, 2019 – 12:08 a.m.)

This was the view out my campervan window in one direction. The other direction looked like this.

…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.

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.

Saurbæjarkirkja – June 2019

Not to be confused with “Saurbæjarkirkja í Eyjafirði” which is a different church over 500 km away. This one is in the Westfjords, near Rauðisandur, where horrific murders were committed in the early 19th Century on what is now a deserted farm (Sjöundá).
