Blast from the Past - Part 1

Ok, we're going back to a time when my mothing interest had only just started, so I wasn't too bothered about missing a week in the Spring. A time when I'd only had my camera 4 short months. A time, long ago, in 2011.

The reason I'm giving you a blast from my past is because I'm lazy. My photos of anything interesting from the last week are on my camera, so here you go, April 2011.

It undoubtedly started with an early morning, I know it ended with a late night, so I will presume it started with one. A group trip to Iceland, was the trip, with several friends. Airport at some point, I'm sure, and the cooped up on a plane. Below are two pics from the trip there.

English Countryside. Lots of fields.

A random Scottish Island. In Scotland.

 

 

The first place we visited was the Blue Lagoon. Now, if you ever get the chance to go there, take it! It's damn warm, and a spectacular place to be, and a good laugh with your friends! Just to show you the colour, here's a pic.

Here it is. It did smell slightly, particularly the white sludge at the bottom (which is supposedly good for you!)



 

The second place we visited was Pingvellir, which is where the two plates (Eurasian and North American) and pulling apart. This shows extremely well here as there is a large gorge running down the centre. Birdlife was good on Iceland, with Redwings being the most frequent, but also a Gyrfalcon, Merlin, Whooper Swans, Golden Plover, Puffin, Fulmar ect.

This is the rift, You can see the people chilling out at the bottom, just to give you a scale.

Some Ropey larva for those geologists.

And some mountains..

 

 

 

I will get round to the rest sooner or later (which involved Geysirs and Gullfoss), when, I don't know (I love how I plan so far ahead!).
