The Rocks And The Midnight Sun by DagurJonsson
I was so lucky last summer to witness at Grandabót seashore here in Reykjavik, one of the most amazing midnight sun I have seen. I have already uploaded pictures from that scenery but I am still finding shots from that night that are interesting. Here is a painting style vertical image with very strong colors.

The Land Of Fire and Ice by Cooldude239
Thingvellir is a favorite stop among travelers along the Golden Circle route. It has been a National Park in Iceland since 1928 and was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2004.
Aside from its historic interest, Thingvellir holds a special appeal for nature lovers. It is the visible site of the mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, and are being pulled apart at a rate of 2 centimeters (nearly an inch) per year. The geology here is not only interesting to learn about but also spectacular to behold.
At Almannagja, on the west side of the plain, you can see the easternmost edge of the North American tectonic plate, which is normally submerged in the Atlantic Ocean. On the east side at the Heidargja Gorge, you are at the westernmost edge of the Eurasian plate.
There is much to explore in the park including the 20 meter (66 ft) Oxara waterfall, and the Nikulasargja Gorge, better known as Peningagja (Money Gorge) because it is customary to toss coins (and sometimes credit cards!) into the icy-cold water and make a wish.

Snowy Garden in Reykjavik by DagurJonsson
It was lovely but dark snowy mood few nights ago at the Botanic Garden in Laugardaur valley. I really liked the display of light and darkness in the lovely snowy garden.
The Botanic Garden is an outdoor collection of living plants. It was founded in 1961 and is run by the City of Reykjavík. The gardens main role is to conserve plants for education, research and delight. It conserves some 5000 plant species in eight plant collections. The collections give an idea of the enormous diversity of vegetation in the northern temperate zone.
