Iceland is traditionally described as a place of fire and ice. And that’s definitely true, but there are so many other stunning variations.

We visited Thingvillir National Park to find forests, barren lands, farms, lakes, geysers, and waterfalls.

Stark, foreboding, bucolic, serene, pretty – all these descriptors apply in breathtakingly beautiful diversity.

The barren lands will suddenly open into a healthy forest growing in the lee of an ancient volcanic crater …

… while farms thrive …

… among the beautiful lakes …

… and hot springs.

More pictures are coming.

Greetings from the land of beautiful diversity.
