Mountain

Mountain

Taken in northern Iceland after staying in Akureyri. On the way to the west, I stopped to look at the mountains. The weather was great with few clouds. I found three peaks standing in a row, nearly the same height but different shapes. They became more distinguishable after converting to black and white.

Purple for Iceland

Purple for Iceland

Purple, one of Iceland's colors. I wondered why people here like and use purple so much when I encountered many purple things in Iceland last winter. I found the answer this summer. While driving along the Ring Road, I saw lupine spread all over the country. It looked like gods planted these and sometimes visit when they're free. The real lupine fragrance is amazing.
