Back in June of 2004 I visited the mysterious island of Iceland with Ayaz, Kim, and Laura (and a group of her friends from Boston). The trip was titled “For the Birds” and birds there were, millions of them. Our trip was based out of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, with a series of day trips: out along the Golden Circle, to the Westmann Island in the south, and up to Iceland second largest city,Akureyri, in the north with an additional plane flight up to the Arctic Circle and the little island of Grimsey where we encountered many little Puffins.

Iceland is a truly magical place and one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. A wonder for landscape photography with mountains, volcanos, geysers, hot springs, and the slow expanding contential divide between Europe and North America. Our trip was just weeks before the Summer Solstice. Sunset was shortly before midnight and “night” was a brief few hours where the Sun dipped just below the horizon.
