Landscape


I keep going to the same spot to take photos, Álftanes (Swanpoint) is just outside Reykjavik and has some nice spots like this beach. When I shot this there was some wind coming from the sea, about 10-15 m/sec so I had some trouble keeping the camera steady on the tripod.

The trip


We start school in Victoria in late August, however we are planning on leaving Iceland in June. So where to go first? We were thinking of flying to Minneapolis and driving to Vancouver Island via Yellowstone – Seattle – Vancouver in a Winnebago but I think there is a more interesting route.
Flying to San Francisco and traveling by van/Winnebago/trailer first to Lake Tahoe then YosemiteMono lake through Las Vegas – Death valley to the Grand Canyon.
That would be pretty scenic at least if the photos I’ve seen are anything to go by.
Then we would mosey on north probably by the west coast through Portland – Seattle and take the ferry to Vancouver Island from there.
Sounds like a plan!
