:-) On Europe's mainland we cannot imagine this being "highway no. 1"...
But... it is!!!
Part of Iceland's highway no. 1 is still not "paved".
Mind you, it's not a bad road, but one must be careful driving there.
I really love the view from this small hill, with the water and the threatening clouds in the distance...
:-) we didn't have rain that day! not that day ;-)

Leveled the horizon, cropped and added just a bit of saturation.

Enjoy the view!!!
Anneke

P.s.: For those who'd like to see: I have a picture in the WS of my laundry hanging out to dry in the car...
Especially for "Carol50", who will leave for Iceland soon!

I LOVE this picture!! A place I have always wanted to visit and you have given us a fantastic view. Very beautiful nature colors and detail. TFS and have a happy day!

Hi Anneke!
Always dreamt to visit Iceland... maybe in the future..!
This shot has a great fashion, giving a mood of emptyness and huge spaces.

Very fine moody image, Anneke
Indeed, we would not think of it as a highway either, but then we do not have their harsh weather and we do have far more cars on the road
Great posting

Back in the late 1960's Anneke highway one between Perth, Western Australia and Adelaide, South Australia was much the same. A well composed image, good layers of muted colours with the guide posts standing out proudly.

A real superb one for the quality, the ambience. You just gave me the taste of Iceland, I would like so much to go there.

Hi Anneke,
How this is a beautiful view!
No traffic and dust, all this landscape is clearly offered in front of you, despite the cloudy weather!
Really a superb composition with a great depth and perspective.
Are people anxious about the climate
changes, there?
Bravo! Annie

Hi Anneke,
Beautiful landscape and picture from of this road. Yes that's funny that this is the No. 1 road in Iceland. I arrived home a week ago from Iceland, and we experienced how to drive on these roads.
I like your Icelandic gallery.
Congratulations! TFS
Regards,
Kristof

Nou Anneke, door foto's als deze krijgt iederéén zin oom ook hier te mogen staan en te genieten van de vreselijke drukte op deze snelweg - echt een snelweg naar mijn hart.

Hi Anneke!!

Iceland...land of mistic and ancient nature!
Perfect and virgin..not destroyed yet!
I love Iceland since i know about its existence!
TFS

Warm hugs from Italy!!

Oh my Anneke,
I can't believe i 'll be driving this highway very soon myself, a pity they have not yet paved that road fully but from the view here it seems not too bad a stretch i think , well it will do !The worst of the highway system is in the interior !
Nice view and i believe this has to be a waterfall there iit is ,
TFS,
Carol

Beautiful landscape shot - the POV is superb and really gives a sense of scale and distance. Super stuff

Altijd mooi foto van stille land wegen die leiden naar de oneindigheid,het grijze weer maakt de zaak alleen nog meer mysterieus.
Mooi Anneke.

Hoi Anneke,
Nou weet ik waarvoor ik moet gaan sparen....en reis naar IJsland. Alleen deze ene foto maakt dat ik er naar toe moet. Zo heerlijk open en desolaat en de ruigheid straalt er van af. Misschien dat sommige mensen dit soort weer niet mooi vinden. Het past bij het land en is perfect weer voor fotografie. Je compositie is super, vooral hoe de weg je mee neemt op een mini reis.
Groetjes,
Niek

Hello Anneke !

My kind of touring (^_^). Love that road and mood. Specially with the little Falls in the background adding interest to it.

Not a place to get a sunburn with this wet and cold weather, but still well worthed to capture breathtaking and unique landscapes.

Great POV to capture the twisting shore road. well thought and presented Anneke.
Cheers!
Robert

Hello Anneke
Oh what a landscape! I love how you lead us into your photo! the road carved into that rock formation is amazing! I think the yellow road makers need to be bigger ;)

Tricia

prachtig land, staat op mijn verlanglijst
