Iceland is a fascinating place that feels like another planet. It's beauty is not always obvious but I always felt the power of pure nature and its impulsive yet calming spirit. You have volcanos and mountains, waterfalls and the coast, glaciers and thermal springs, a paradise for photography.

We started our roadtrip close to Reykjavik and on to the golden circle. The sheer power of the vulcanos is intimidating and feels like another planet.

A random stop we took as the sund was coming out to take in the scenery. We actually just stopped on the road as there was just nobody else anywhere.
