Well, that is school finished! I was learning beginner Icelandic for 4 weeks, and now it is all over. What a great few weeks and I got to meet some amazing people from all over the world!

Now the long Easter weekend approaches and I am heading away to get some images from the fjords and mountains of northern Iceland. First leg will be up to Sauðárkrókur which is a little under 4hrs of driving to stay at an Airbnb.

The next morning it will be up to Akureyri via the Tröllaskagi (Troll peninsula) to stay for the next few days before the long drive back on Monday.

I am hoping to get some good weather and early morning sunrises, with maybe a waterfall or two thrown in for good measure. Fingers crossed the weather will be clear, cold and sunny. 

Below is an image I took last weekend when doing a small hike up Helgafell, which is just outside Reykjavik. The landscape here changes so dramatically and so quickly, it is awe inspiring!
