Constant 70 mph winds and rain prevented us going out till the afternoon. The light and waves at this beautiful beach were worth the wait. Colours are as shot and deepened as dusk came. Heavy rain drove us off the beach as darkness fell.

Snaefellnes Iceland - Making the Best of Adverse Conditions
The weather yesterday was not ideal for photography - howling wind and frequent heavy rain showers. However we managed to occupy the day photographically. The first shots are of Kirkujufell mountain and waterfalls and then a nearby beach and ruined farmhouse. The last two shots are from the car and a prelude to tomorrows venue.
On Way to Snaefellnes Peninsula
We spent Monday travelling from Reykjavik to Budir stopping at suitable locations including a frozen lake and a fast-slowing river

Icelandic Horses at Play
We stopped during our drive to Budir to enjoy the antics of these very frisky horses against a fabulous backdrop. As usual, they had been well trained in posing!

We spent a very long while with the wonderful Eider ducks watching them diving and collecting shellfish from among the seaweed and waiting for them to preen and arch their wings. There were also Black Guillemot and in the park behind the harbour, lots of Redwings.

We spent our last day in Reykjavik around the harbour on a crystal clear day. An amazing cloud structure greeted us - tempted to put in some round windows to complete the space ship but here it is as taken.
