Ok... so now I've shown you the most exciting pics of Iceland... time to show you the dull pics...
Well, not really...
In fact Iceland is far from dull, even in grey and rainy weather. Iceland is fantastic!
The whole time we were there we realised we were walking around on vulcanic land. The tracks are all over the place.
And not just the vulcano's are most impressive, also the glaciers are HUGE!!!

Here's just a view from the road. We had lots of rain that day and here we just drove out in front of the bad weather.
I really loved the threatening sky and the reflections in the water...
Hope you like it too.

Just cropped a bit off the left and top.

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Anneke,
Iceland sure does look like a very beautiful place, I dont think it matters what the weather is as long as the place is beautiful like this. I love the way you have caught the reflection in the water, the detail is fantastic.

Hi Anneke,
A great and mysterious country ! Indeed, even in this grey weather it looks great! .... not as great as the Netherlands ofcourse, but great enough. ;-)
Good compo and very nice mirroring in the water. Great job done.
greetings,
Joop!

as tourists, we have to do with the actual weather, the result is threatening indeed, and beautiful, oh yes, iceland is beautiful, i'm a fan, but just saw photos and videos for the moment..

Great composition with the water leading into the picture.

Hi Anneke,
I just like this view! Not grey and dull at all! Just interesting and different! If you want to see sun and beaches, you would go to the South Islands, isn't it?
The reflections of mountain and sky are very well rendered. And the luminosity bursts the cloud cover. Very well done! Annie

Hi Anneke,I like these soft colours,the whole image gives a feeling of solitude,free of buildings & masses of people,it really reminds me a lot of the Scottish highlands.I like the mood this gives off.

Hallo Anneke
Prachtige lanschaps foto. Mooi dramatisch licht,
Gr Jos

I agree Anneke! This is Marvelous! The subtle tones and colors are very pleasing to the eye! Love the low lying clouds and the reflection is so nice in the water! Outstanding! ....can I swim in it?

Well.. the weather might be dull.. but the landscape here is definatelly not dull... I like the composition and the reflection, the "smoke" just add in more magical feel. great colours and details, I sure like the threatening sky, (as long as I am not there)


Have a great day,

Cheers,

A country which I would like so much to visit but...................Thanks to bring us those landscapes. Nice done. so clear. I just have to visit Iceland by your photos, not expensive isn't it ?

Bonsoir Anneke

is a beautiful trip that you have done here is absolutely superb. The colors aren't sad, you say that you had the rain that day, but a background in the mist, is perceived as a clear sunny, is that I'm wrong? The Iceland in the air to be a great country from what I saw throughout your series of photographs. The lighting effects are as good and the reflection of this peak of volcanic rocks in the water. And almost pristine nature of any civilization, a country, Iceland, which respects our planet and that makes the most of what it gives to live in agreement with it.
Heartily, Corinne

Really sorry for not having put messages before but I find it difficult to find a lot of time with the new house to build. Fun but also a lot of tiredness. ;O)

Dit is voor een ""landschapsman""gewoon klote weer Anneke.
Het is dan ook klasse dat jij er nog iets heel moois van hebt weten te brouwen.
Goeie omlijsting ook.
jan

Nice view Anneke,
atmospheric feeling is great too.
Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Like you Anneke I find that days such as this create so many opportunities. A perfect POV to capture the reflections and lovely muted colours. TFS,
David
