Birds view of Iceland
Old dream comes true
We all see the same thing differently. Changing perspective changes everything. It was a dream to fly and take aerial photos this summer. Around the year 2000 I photographed most of the popular salmon and trout rivers in Iceland from the...
Battle of the camera lens cleaning cloths in Gljúfrabúi waterfall
At very wet locations which waterfalls tend to be, I often wonder why bloggers and websites like Fstoppers.com and KenRockwell.com don´t compare and review lens cleaning cloths since we have thousands of articles comparing lenses and cameras. Lens cleaning cloths are one of the...
Saved from the rain by an ice cave
Now it´s more than a month since the beginning of the life on the road in the mobile home. So far I have only had half a day in rain which is only thanks to the policy to go where the good weather is....

Woke up at 2.50 am at Kirkjufell in Snæfellsnes peninsula. I was interested in getting a new perspective of the popular Kirkjufell mountain at sunrise. I walked for 15 minutes up the hill above the most photographed waterfalls and there is a waterfall which...
Kvernufoss waterfall
Kvernufoss is a well hidden gem near the much more visited Skogarfoss waterfall. The plan was to go to Skogarfoss and hope for a good light. The plan changed when we arrived. The reason it is not as popular photo-location as Skogarfoss and Seljalandsfoss...
