Puffin in Eastern Iceland

Borgarfjörður in eastern Iceland is the safest and easiest place to see these clumsy little birds.

Akranes Sunset

Anxious anticipation. After a long and overcast day, you desperately hope that the sun will reveal itself in dramatic fashion. Just before midnight, those golden rays lit up the coast of Akranes.

Akranes, Iceland

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon

Hanging over a railing instead of leaning over a crumbling cliff is one way to avoid winning a Darwin award. This viewing platform is about 300 feet from the canyon floor.

View to the east from Dyrhólaey – a small peninsula with picturesque views of Iceland's south coast. Miles of black sand beach and crashing waves provide a watercolour effect to this scene.

Coastal Sunset

A coastal sunset just east of Ólafsvík on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. I love the lines in the sand where the tide went out earlier in the day.

Green Eggs

The green algae on these rocks, set against the black lava, really draw the eye.

Goðafoss

The "waterfall of the gods" in northeastern Iceland has a 40-foot drop and spans about 100 feet. Like many of the waterfalls in Iceland, there aren't rails and fences allowing you to get up close to the action.

Goðafoss, Iceland

Westfjords

The simplicity of this landscape reminded me of the iconic work of Lawren Harris – famous for his Canadian landscape paintings.

Westfjords, Iceland

Detifoss

This is the largest waterfall in Iceland and the most powerful in Europe – 330 feet wide with a drop of 144 feet.

Hvítserkur

Hvítserkur is a 15 m high basalt stack along the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula, in northwest Iceland. The rock has two holes at the base, which give it the appearance of a dragon (or terrier) who is drinking.

Vatnsnes Peninsula, Iceland

Skógafoss

Skógafoss is one of the nicest waterfalls in Iceland which means a lot of tourists (and long delays waiting for people to get out of my frame). I gave up waiting and found that I like this particular photo. It gives a sense of scale to this 60 metre (196 feet) waterfall.

Skógafoss, Iceland

Fagrifoss, Iceland

Bláfjall Sunrise

After a long day of shooting, the sun was coming up at 3:20am. It lit up Bláfjall mountain with such amazing colour that I hit the brakes, again. I pulled over, set up my tripod, and took my final photo for the day.

The beautiful long mane of this horse reminded me of a 60s style hairdo.

Glacial Ice

Icebergs from Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon flow out to sea and end up on Diamond Beach. The black basalt sand contrasts nicely with the clear glacial ice. I spent a few hours just sitting here, soaking it in.

Queen of the Icelandic Mountains

Herðubreið is often referred to as "the queen of the Icelandic mountains". Herðubreið is a table mountain that is 1,682 metres in height. This was one of those magical moments where the light came together perfectly.

Krafla Crater

The view from the rim of Krafla Crater in Northern Iceland. Yes, the water inside of this 300m wide crater really is a vibrant turquoise colour and the photo isn't over-processed.
