Iceland DCE Part 2 - The "Golden Circle Tour"
The Pictures & Sites:
First my overview - I tried very hard to provide an experience of what I perceived as "in the fashion of how Iceland is meant to be experienced". I did this by many means. How I took my photos, to the music choreography, to motions via panning and selected transitions. This collection of pictures tells the story, not particularly my best photos taken.
I found Icelanders and the land itself has a quietly told and proudly revered history. The land is young, raw and diverse. I brought my love of photography to its rugged and beautiful shores; I left with respect for the people and their country. I tried my best to capture some of ... "what is Iceland".
Please remember that I took these photos under whatever conditions "mother nature" provided. Most were cloudy and many were in the rain. Not to mention we moved 11 out of 14 nights to a different hotel, and all the shots were taken "on the move", in fact... I did not include any photos of Iceland's largest waterfall due to heavy rains that prevented any photos at all.
This video is my "Directors Cut Edition" where I spent much attention to timing and fine tuning how this video plays. It is contains a six (6) album menu. This is PART 2. Brief descriptions follow
Album two (2) - The "Golden Circle Tour" (approx. run time: 10:36 min., Southwest Iceland also)
Includes a three part tour starting with Geysir, then onto Gullfoss ("golden waterfall") then ending with Pingvellir National Park. Each of these sites was spectacular. This tour is just outside Reykjavik and can be done in a single day (I would not recommend this approach). Pictures of any type don't capture the beauty and respect these sites deserve. Kerid (a volcanic crater) also pictured is a beautiful and haunting site.
o Geysir - is actually the name of their most popular geyser. Many geysers are home here LITLI GEYSIR is just that a little version of Geysir, BLESI is another small geyser I photographed. This area looks prehistoric. The "forces of nature" at work at these sites is astounding. We stayed at the Hotel Geysir. A very nice place. Perfect location to visit both the Geysir & the Gullfoss locations.
o Gullfoss - "Golden Falls" one of Iceland's largest waterfalls saved by an Icelandic female who walked to Iceland's capital to protest the building of a dam. This site is awesome.
o Pingvellir National Park - where early settlers decided to form a commonwealth in AD 930 - this is the site they choose to hold their national assembly.
o Kerid - a 6500 year old volcanic crater.
