iceland VIII.

on the 8th day of our trip to Iceland we finally managed to travel along one of the Highlands roads - most of them were still closed because of a recent snow storm but the F35 had just been opened and we decided to take it. the route F35 connects Blönduós to South Iceland crossing Kjölur: during our drive from north to south and back we encountered one of the most spectacular and desolated areas we had ever been to. this selection of photographs belongs to the first part of our drive along the F35: when we stopped by the fumaroles and hot pools of Hveravellir.
7th selection of my photographs from Iceland:
Nikon FM - Fuji Pro 400H, Fuji X-tra 400
Hasselblad 500 C/M - Fuji Pro 160NS
that day the weather was cold and windy on the Highlands and once again the dark clouds made those wide deserted landscapes even more dramatic-looking. along the route F35 we had taken nearly the most of our photographs I believe: I will share some more here but I will save the most for the book.

there will be just a few more posts dedicated to our trip to Iceland: even though I have been sharing quite many photographs already - they would never feel enough to me. I hope you have been appreciating these icelandic posts and that you won't get bored with a few more!

    1. Yes! It was literally in the middle of nowhere and I believe it was meant to be a shelter for travelers in case of bad weather. It even had a name: Arnarbæli!
