Some Iceland pics

Jul 23, 2005 13:39

I've picked out a couple that were on our digital, but my dad takes the majority of pictures and he will insist on using his ole' faithful because it still works. In a cosmetic sense, I agree with him. He looks better with it than the tiny digital that we have. Who in our family picked that one, I have no idea. It wasn't me, and I doubt it was him ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the pics and the great descriptions. The picture of the waterfalls with your sister in it was my favourite - a beautiful place. Sounds like you enjoyed your trip immensely and got a lot out of it.

Thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to go to Iceland.

What are the temperatures like this time of the year? It looks nice and sunny.

In the range of 15-22 Celcius - depending on the weather. We've also had torrenting rain from very thick clouds, at which times it wasn't warm at all.

Ideal! (the temps)

Isn't it! I've never understood why people will insist on going south during the summer.

Plus, both sister and I have inherited our father's skin. He's a natural redhead. Well, red turning white. And sure enough, when we took a 3 hour walk towards a glacier, I was sunburned. Sunburned in Iceland, the irony.

*grin* The general expectation people have of everyone flying off to the tropics every chance they get is producing some pretty funny reactions, though - memorable was the one from the driver of our SchipholTaxi: "So where are you folks going?" "Iceland!" (This said when nearly bobbing in our seats - as bouncy as is possible in a car.) "Ice... wha... huh... gah? Okay, let's try again. So where are you folks going?" "Iceland!" "Sounds great!"

Temps were ideal yes. It did rain though.

Those are great photos! My mom would be squeeing over the puffins - she loves the little guys. Though she'd be horrified at the thought of eating one. :-)

I'm a waterfall freak, so those are my favourites, I think. *adds Iceland to list of "places to see"*

Iceland looks very beautiful.

I might go whale watching when I'm in Warrnambool. It's calving season at the moment.
