The ferry is waiting for VivaLaVida in two days and I still have several hundred miles to get to Seydisfjordur, so it’s time for me to move on. Without forgetting to stop at some new spots.
 
 
1. Same place same hour three weeks later and same rainbow… 😉
 

 
 
2. Short stop on another spot of Jökulsárlón Lake.
 

 
 
3. And another stop at Diamond Beach to shot some pictures especially for Isabelle! 😉
 

 
 
4. Further East, shortly before the Vestrahorn, another gravel bar in the rain.
 

 
 
The Vestrahorn Mountain, so often photographed, turns out to be a real tourist scam. In addition to the fact that it is next to a hugly military satellite antena, it has been appropriated by the owner of a camping-bar that charges for access! He even installed an automatic highway toll style barrier to control access. I am quite shocked by the fact that somebody can appropriate a piece of nature belonging to the state and refuses to lend me to this practice, preferring to go elsewhere. Travelers, keep away of that place, there are enough other beautiful sites in Iceland.
 
5. I sleep on a small pass along the old road. After a steady rain during most of the night, the morning offers me a nice sky.
 

 
 
6. And here is the Vestrahorn from the North-East, a less “conventional” view. 🙂
 

 
 
7. An example of the large sheep farms of the South coast.
 

 
 
8.After my disappointment at Vestrahorn, I spotted another less known site (but for how long ..?). The weather was not pleasant and I decided to explore the coast in search of cool compositions until it improves. Here is one first with this cove in the rocks.
 

 
 
9. The showers succeed one another, created by the strong wind that condenses the clouds on the mountain.
 

 
 
10. I take the opportunity to observe some ducks who hiding from strong wind behind the cape. Here a female.
 

 
 
11. And there a male who has just caught a crustacean.
 

 
 
12. He rinses it a little…
 

 
 
13. Before swallowing it!
 

 
 
14. In the foam…
 

 
 
15. I also go discover the large beach that runs to the West.
 

 
 
16. Vestrahorn in the distance.
 

 
 
17. Survival…
 

 
 
18. Finally, after 5 1/2 hours of waiting, a brief sunray of just a few minutes allows me to show you another composition.
 

 
 
Last article of this trip coming soon. 😉
