8. SO beautiful!
The colors are incredible. Before I scrolled, I could only see the Puffin's head, and I thought for one mad moment that you'd caught some terribly chic Icelandic woman wearing a colorful retro '50's hat. (You know, the kind that perch on the back of the head.) I fear that I may have some unusual wiring in my brain somewhere. Anyway, it's gorgeous.

9. Thanks, everybody!
My internet time is limited, so that's why I'm answering this way...

Yes, it is a puffin, live and in person!

The air is COLD! Very clean and clear as well...

The wind blows all the time and it's exhausting!

I'm really glad you're enjoying this pic...

LOVE you all!

11. An incredible shot...
.

I hope your trip is everything you've hoped for and MORE!!!
.
.

So... what unusual foods have you enjoyed or turned away from in disgust?
.
.
.
Let me know if you want to know how to say something.
.
.

I'll start off with what is, by far... the MOST important of all questions for anyone traveling anywhere:
.
another beer, please?
.
annar bjór , þóknast?

14. My dear CP, a Puffin!!!
How wonderful!

Two things I've always wanted to see firsthand that will require a trip to somewhere like Iceland:
The Northern Lights and a Puffin.

Lucky you! Have you been to any of the hot springs?

18. beautiful!
those daisies almost look fake - such big flowers for what I presume is a very harsh environment

hope you get a wind-free day or tow, wind is just exhausting, I really dislike it

I'm like somebody else above, hot springs? yummy!

23. Did you see the black beaches?
Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 09:24 AM by suninvited
I remember being very amazed at the black sand.

One of the things about Iceland I hated was driving by the water in Reykjavik and seeing the dead whales by the boats. They eat them there. BTW they eat Puffins there, too. Glad to see they are still around.

on edit: forgot to say, wonderful picture!!!
