Hi everyone! I’ve had a few requests to upload some pictures from my recent trip to Iceland and, never one to let down my fans (ahem), I am happy to oblige.
I wasn’t there for as long as I would have liked (when isn’t that the case?), but in my time I came to fall in love with this beautifully rugged and magical country; full of kind and generous people and sights that nowhere else on Earth can offer.
My trip was made even more special by having witnessed the Northern Lights in their full resplendent glory – a stroke of luck bearing in mind how fickle they can be, but the show I witnessed will stay with me for the rest of my life. I also got to see a humpback whale barely 10 metres from the edge of the boat I was on; again a rare sight and one that I will remember with a smile for years to come.
Here are a few pictures of my trip. I’ll be back with the usual film review stuff imminently. Thanks as always for your support of my blog; it means a lot.
The Northern Lights in all their splendour
Pingvellir National Park
Prettttty cold
Gullfoss waterfall
As geysers go, Strokkur isn’t half bad
Me!
It’s a humpback. Promise…
The Lebowski Bar! The dude abides in Reykjavik!
We also found the Chuck Norris Grill with these wise words
three rows back 
Absolutely breathtaking photos. Apparently the place is super photogenic! And you’re right, when you go away on vacation somewhere it never lasts nearly long enough, does it? 😉
You’re a gent sir. It’s never long enough is it? Still, we made the most of the time we were there.
Beautiful, but cold. 😉
Nice pics, Mark. Looks like you had a great time.
It was cold alright! It was wonderful, thanks mate.
Ah, looks awesome! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
I did! Thanks Zoe; you’d love it there I’m sure 🙂
Nice pics…it looks amazing and I’d love to see the Northern Lights! I’d also love to visit a Lebowski bar or a Chuck Norris grill too, for that matter
Thanks Stu. Yeah, the Lebowski bar and Chuck grill were random that’s for sure! The bar was great though; they really went to town on the place!
Those are some amazing photos. Would love to go up to Iceland one day…
Cheers mate. It’s a stunning country; I would absolutely recommend it.
Absolutely beautiful photos! Visiting Iceland and seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list for sure!
It was for me too! Thanks Anna 🙂
Wow these are phenomenal. I need to visit Iceland in the future.
You do! Thanks for the kind words buddy.
It’s on my list of places to visit.
This is super awesome Mark!! Such beautiful pictures. I’m insanely jealous but happy that you got to visit and had a great time. Oh my, The Northern Lights!! My hubby’s been dreaming of seeing that, so I guess we’d have to make a trip to Iceland 😉 Btw, looking good in that picture there, buddy!
Sorry for the late reply! Thanks for the lovely comments! Iceland will be there for a while yet; plenty of time to see it all!
Wow. I haven’t been outside Australia, those pictures look truly stunning! I must save up to travel some time. Thanks for sharing the pics! 🙂
You’re welcome Jordan! Oz ain’t too shabby though!
yeah, the parts that aren’t a total desert can look nice 😛
Stunning shots! Thanks for sharing these. Just amazing captures! 🙂
Ah, cheers Vic. Highly recommended place to visit!
