My precious - Le Weekend

 

Never too early, always too short. 

Cherry flowers

 

Cherry flowers are so pretty. These pictures are weeks old, but they are just so nice. Have a great week!

How to spend a perfect summer day?

There's not any better way to spend a hot summer day than finding an island where you've never been. Eating some good salad in the island's small restaurant and after that finding a quiet bay to read a book for the rest of the day.

Jökulsárlón

One of the most amazing place on The Earth, where I've ever been. The glacier lake is the place, where you really can see how Vatnajökull is melting. Little by little this huge giant is giving up. 

This place is filled with memories. As the whole country.

Waterfalls

In Iceland one can see waterfalls almost everywhere, when you are driving around the country. It's amazing for a person like me, who is from the country, where we just don't have any waterfalls (nor mountains). 

Here are the pictures of Skógafoss (my third favourite), Seljalandsfoss (second favourite waterfall) and Gullfoss. My camera damaged a bit after these waterfalls - it's not water resistant I noticed. :)

Storm around Vík

  

 Vík is a small town in the south of Iceland, which is famous for it's black beach. You may recognise those stones from the sea - they've been seen in several films, TV-series and music videos. Though the story tells that they were actually two elves, which didn't hurry enough to reach the land before the sunrise.. 

Vík is also interesting town, because it lays just beside to a glacier called Mýrdallsjökull, which is hiding under its ice cap a volcano called Katla. Scientists are calculating that Katla should erupt pretty soon. Usually the Eyjafjallajökulls eruption (the one, which closed the Europe's aviation traffic) is a tricker for Katla. Though Katla's eruptions may cause big problems not only for Iceland and Europe, but for the rest of the world as well. 

Svartifoss & Vatnajökull

 

 

Svartifoss (Black waterfall) is my favourite of waterfalls, the number one. It reminds me (and many others) of the Sibelius monument in Helsinki. Maybe the artist has visited this place. Who knows. 

Svartifoss is in the Skaftafell's National Park, which is a part of Vatnajökull National Park. Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe.
