This hidden majesty was captured deep inland on the southern part of Iceland. You have to take a 4x4 road for about 10 miles. Once you reach jagged parking lot, you can hear the raging water flowing down, crashing against the rocks below. Haifoss is the second tallest waterfall in Iceland. Do not miss out on it’s beauty.

Iceland was both a fairytale and nightmare for me. On the way to Gullfoss, I got into an accident and thankfully no one was hurt. We were haunted by the experience, but once we made our way there the next day, that haunting feeling vanished, and that is what makes Iceland so magical.

Landmannalaugar, Iceland - one the most beautiful places in Iceland. The drive to this place via the F-Roads, the sceneries, the numerous lakes, snow capped mountains, etc… all of this just adds fuel to the fire.

Hiking to extremes on Iceland’s Laugavegur Trail Hiking in Iceland evokes a sense of freedom that reaches an unparalleled magnitude. As you follow hiking trails flanked by bold rock formations and purple Arctic flora, you realize that Iceland’s mighty nature stands before you, unaltered by humans, just as it has for thousands of years.

The green colors of the Icelandic highlands stretching out in the sun. There has been a HDR put on the photo but even without it it looks like a painting. One must see it to belive it

Midnight walk to the lake in Icelandic highlands. Taking a picture of myself again....after running down to the lake in those 10sec that i had with time triger. I put a bit exposure up and contrast. The picture has also hdr over, because lifting shadows didnt do much, since it is a very dark picture to start with. Picture looks a bit magical, but reality was also nice that evening

A shot at Brúarfoss in Iceland. The waterfall is slightly tricky to find (crossing a bridge where it says, one may not cross, and then a short hike). This particular shot was taken using a super-tele lens to get close to the falls. Not the most powerful waterfall on Iceland, but sure one of the most beautiful ones, as there is mostly glacier water coming down, which gives it its fantastic colors.

Went exploring a bit into the highlands, when i found a spot to park…walked around and got this shot. At the back you can see a glacier which comes from eyjafjallajokull . That is the volcano that erupted in 2010 and set Iceland back on map for a while. Not everybody liked that since they were stranded on airports :)

This is scary, I mean, the landscape is awesome but being there is really scary, especially if you are alone, like I was. This is where my trip around Iceland began, I had the car full of food, beverages and most important, gas. However, looking at this road, and realizing that you are almost alone (just one car far far away) in the middle of nothing, that, really makes you think about a lot of stuff..

I had just started my trip around Iceland and while I was driving I suddenly spotted this little house right here.. Just kidding, my GPS sent me the wrong way in the middle of this land.

I took this picture during my trip in Iceland, near by a hotel I spent the night. We could see the Eyjafjallajökull volcano near by. I remember I smiled at this basketball court, wondering if anyone ever played here :D No hoop ! But it was special and the sunset here was so beautiful !

Floki the fox legend returns. This one has been missing since 2016 march. Happy to see he made it thru summer. One of the first pictures i posted here was from him last year (2015). He hangs around another hut in the valley, but in winter nobody is staying there, so he pays me a visit …until other foxes chase him away

A nice evening with a set of mild northern lights. The moon was full , so it illuminated the background nicely. Unfortunately for it the northern lights were less visible....but just enough to make a composition like this :)

Strolling down the canyon. It was midnight and auroras were bursting, but i was stuck in the canyon, so i tried to make as much use as i can from the position where i was. The idea fell on my mind to light the sides with the torches and another selfie came out :)

Taken at Iceland’s second largest glacier Langjökull. I was based at the foot of the mass of ice taking abstract shots of the patterns running through the frozen mass when a group of friendly hikers passed me. I waited in position watched their cautious ascent up the intimidating glacier. When the hikers reached a prime position I took my shot, emphasising the fact that when man and nature co-operate they create a powerful work of art.

A winter hike into the stakkholtsgja canyon. This one was taken in middle of january 2018. It is the same canyon i used for the night photo with two torches i was just positioned a bit lower in it. Beginning of this canyon was also used exactly a year ago for a short scene in game of thrones, where they capture the undead guy. This time it is not me standing but my dear coworker, who i photographically abused, so that i can deliver you this photo :)

What seems like floating up in the air, is just the light effect that the torch does, reflecting from the water. I was standing also on a rock in the middle of a water stream. Picture was taken at midnight in a canyon. There is a small glimpse of green up in the sky, those were the auroras that were outside the canyon

One of the last auroras for this winter. Driving a country road, while sky started to explode, so a stop was a must. Night was dark and F4 lens needed an extra ISO to make it work. This is what came out....shadows were lifted and brightness also a bit, exposure worked with 20 seconds so there are startrails visible if zoomed in.

Roads in Iceland meant only for 4x4s are known as “F Roads” - which we discovered in our non 4x4 sedan attempting to get to our place to stay for the night. The nice drive was the upside.

I was travelling through Iceland in the fall of 2016, we stopped at a volcanic crater called, Kerið, just before sunset. Iceland is a magical place in November. There is just enough daylight to stay sane (sunrise is around 9.30am and sunset around 4pm) but at the same time sun is always very low in the sky making every minute feel like golden hour. The last 30mins before sunset, which is when this photo was taken, was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen.
