Toll dort auch so einen schwarzen Lapilli-Lavastrand zu sehen - wie auf Stromboli...
(Nur nicht so warm... ((•‿•)) )

Gudrun replied to ©UdoSm:

Schönen Dank, Udo! Nee, baden sollte man da nicht, allein schon wegen der Strömungen.....Aber Steinchen sammeln macht Spaß!

Thank you so much, Roger! That was the side with the good weather, I had to take advantage of it while it lasted.

An unusual looking lighthouse (but of course this may be the norm for Iceland)b but it stands out nicely against the sky along with all it aerials. I really like the cloud formations too and the view across the lagoon is gorgeous.

I like the image in the PiP as well........it's always good to get a little more perspective.
