Iceland 2016 Retrospective - day 11 We continued along the Ring road up into the mountains along the Eastern coast and then on to the Hùsey ranch. Here Marta finally got her wish to ride an Icelandic horse. Taking in the nature of the north east coastline of Iceland by horse is breathtaking. The weather that day was moody which only added to the starkness of the land and the power of the oceans. We also got checked out by the local seal and saw an amazing array of birds. I can't say enough about the temperament of the Icelandic horse - easily the friendliest and gentlest horses I've ever been around. #iceland #alliceland #horse #horses #husey #ranch #farm #icelandichorse #horsesoficeland #dontcallthemponies #notapony #613inthe354 #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelphotographer #firsttimeiniceland #canon #everydayiceland #island #inspiredbyiceland #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #discovericeland #tripiniceland

Iceland 2016 Retrospective - day 10 Never, ever pass a gas station in Iceland without filling up!! I swear we had more than half a tank leaving Höfn the day before. But it was all white knuckles and gas fumes until we finally found another gas pump in Djùpivogur (gas cards are your friends - foreign credit cards might not always work in the automated pumps). Just outside of Djùpivogur we came across this herd of caribou crossing the Ring Road to enjoy a little R&R along the fjord. The sun was warm, the breeze light and the ocean lapping in the background - we all just chilled out on the grass and enjoyed a beautiful day. . . #caribou #iceland #alliceland #beautifulplace #613inthe354 #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelphotographer #firsttimeiniceland #canon #everydayiceland #island #inspiredbyiceland #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #discovericeland #inspiredbyiceland #tripiniceland #landscape #landscapephotographer #Lovetraveling #lovetravelling #destinations #destinationunknown #destinationstory #destinationsunknown #adventurevisuals #bestdestinations #aroundtheworldtrip #globecaptures #globe_travel_ #travelphotography #travelphotograph #travelphotooftheday #nakedplanetearth #exploringtheglobebucketlist #canonphotographer #travelpictures #travelpictures_world #travelogue #wanderfar #wanderwithme #wandertag #wanderers #oneworldphotograph #travelgrams #tripofalifetime #travelislife #travelingtheworld

Iceland 2016 Retrospective - day 8 The Jökulsárlón lagoon is formed by the melting Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier. Icebergs calve off the glacier to flow out to the ocean. We took a zodiac tour and zipped among the giant hunks of ice. #glacier #ice  #iceland #alliceland #beautifulplace #613inthe354 #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelphotographer #firsttimeiniceland #canon #everydayiceland #island #inspiredbyiceland #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #discovericeland #inspiredbyiceland #tripiniceland#landscape #landscapephotographer

Iceland 2016 Retrospective - day 5 So after a day and a half on Vestmanneayjar, including a boat trip of the island and hiking up two volcanoes, it was time to head back. When we were first leaving Landeyjahöfn for the island, @marta_dsw had gone for a run while waiting for the ferry and she had found this amazing old boat hull half burried in the sand. Once she told me about it, I had to photograph it once we were back. #boat #oldboat #hull #woodenboat #wood #iceland #alliceland #beautifulplace #613inthe354 #travel#travelphoto #travelphotography #travelphotographer#firsttimeiniceland #canon #everydayiceland #island#inspiredbyiceland #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #discovericeland #inspiredbyiceland #tripiniceland#landscape #landscapephotographer #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #BandW #bnw #bw

Iceland 2016 Retrospective - day 4 Our first full day on the Vestmanneayjar island was officially my worst day in Iceland. It had nothing to do with Iceland itself but rather my gear - my shiny new 150-600mm decided to die that day. No autofocus and no image stabilization. I was upset. I was really upset. I was on the verge of ruining the trip for @marta_dsw . So I did the only reasonable thing, I accepted it. It wasn't easy but I told myself I'd be back and the next time I'd have a working lens. In the meantime I'd manually focus as best I could. ...then the puffins spited me. I had hoped to get a great shot of one. It was my no.1 shot on my list to get for the trip. And even with my broken lens I still had hope. But they just stayed out on the water - well after the locals said they'd be back to their dens. Oh well, I'll be back! #iceland #alliceland #puffin #puffins #atsea #613inthe354 #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelphotographer #firsttimeiniceland #canon #everydayiceland #island #inspiredbyiceland #icelandadventure #icelandtravel #discovericeland #inspiredbyiceland #tripiniceland
