Thanks, Marja, for your wonderful photos of Iceland! I want to return there, as my photos did not turn out, very frustrating! It's beautiful esp. in winter when all is covered with snow, even tho' one can't travel around as much!

Marja, luckily I found some more pictures from your trip. These images seems familiar out. I visited in Iceland at 1998 but on that time there was snow everywhere in October. Nice to see Iceland on spring time. I am sure that your trip was worth of it.Thanks for sharing it with us Marja!

any idea if there are any others?
When I visited the one in Taiwan - it's at the edge of a coral reef - I was told there were only 3 in the world. I've always wondered where the others are!

Wonderful album and as Richard said...inspirational presentation! Every time when I see Iceland from above 33 thousand feet my imagination is "spinning" about this awesome island. Marja, your beautiful images increased my interest to explore that land in the future....Warm regards, Rafal

This might just provide the inspiration I need to take that trip to Iceland. Thanks!
