Strokkur geyser

This is the twelfth and final one of a series of posts containing photos taken during a recent trip to Iceland and the Northern Isles.

Below are some images of Strokkur geyser.

The small image (at left - not my photo!) shows it at its full height.









If you're with a group on a tight schedule it's not - alas - possible to wait for the perfect shot!  But it's interesting in all its phases.

Harbourside coloured houses

This is the eleventh of a series of posts containing photos taken during a recent trip to Iceland and the Northern Isles.

A scene of brightly coloured houses rising from a harbour is familiar in Britain from images of Tobermory, Isle of Mull (see small image at left - not my photo!)







There is clearly a 'family resemblance' to these scenes (below) of coloured buildings in Torshavn, Faroe Islands.

Westman Islands

This is the tenth of a series of posts containing photos taken during a recent trip to Iceland and the Northern Isles. All these images are of the Westman Islands archipelago, off south west Iceland.
