In the distant background you can faintly see the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier head where icebergs break off into the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, near Diamond Beach, Iceland.

Diamond beach is located in Southeast Iceland, about 4 hours east of Reykjavik. Nearby the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier head breaks away into the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, which is full of icebergs. The icebergs slowly melt in the lagoon as they funnel towards a large stream which carries them into the Atlantic Ocean. Afterwards, ice crystals from the size of a car to small ones you can hold in your hand, wash back up on the black volcanic sand beach. It’s quite spectacular!

Stjornarfoss waterfall in southeast Iceland is nearly 49 feet (15 meters) in height. Though not among the tallest waterfalls in Iceland, the stunning surrounding landscape makes for a dramatic composition.
This site was one of several stops on a 12-hour bus tour along Route 1 of the southeast glacial coast in Ireland, leaving east from the capital of Reykjavík. An average stop was only 45 minutes, taking 10 min off the top for a bio break, you’re left with about 30 minutes to enjoy the site and take pictures. For me, that meant no time to cover most landscape composition opportunities and setup a tripod with ND for long exposures.
The other challenge is keeping the other visitors out of your shot. Sometimes you have to use that new facing AI removal tool!

The Hayjadalur Geothermal Area is the home of numerous hot springs, fumaroles, mud pots and a few geysers. This image is the Blesi hot spring near the famous Strokkur geyser. The attraction is about an hour east of Reykjavík along the “Golden Circle” in southern Iceland.

I have passed by this sign for probably 35 years while traveling on I-85 Business South through Lexington, North Carolina. Finally, stopped to capture this image a few months ago. Given its on Fairgrounds Rd, I’m trying to confirm it to be an old relic of the Davidson Country Agricultural Fair.
First built in 1912, the lighthouse is located in the south east part of the island of Murano in the Venetian Lagoon on the Adriatic Sea.
Trajan’s Market was probably built between 100–110 AD as part of the Tarjan’s Forum complex. Thought to be the world’s oldest shopping mall, the arcades in Trajan’s Market are now believed by many to be administrative offices for Emperor Trajan.
