I went to Iceland and it was wonderful. Truly, a beautiful-magical-hobbit-hole-lava-field wonderland. Here are some mobile phone photos, so not the best quality but good enough.
I love this photo of two Icelandic horses, it looks like they are telling/listening to secrets.
It was a place where you could take a picture out of the car window and it would look like it belonged in the national geographic, or on an evian bottle. I took my film camera to Iceland and used about three roles of film on photos of killer whales and horses and beautiful sights so I might upload some of those when they come back, I mailed the film off a couple of days ago so I will get it back soon.
The beaches were fab, you had the black stones/sand and it made everything else even more vibrant and made everything contrast. I loved this black beach, with the bright orange seaweed.
This is me and my horse Simba, who is pictured in the top of this post. He was a wonderful horse, the king of the pack and all the other horses tended to follow him. We went riding twice and both times I was paired up with him, that was great because I loved Simba... or Simpa (?) as the Icelanders call him.
This is me with Teddy, the horse my mum rode. He was slow and safe and very much suited to my mum.
I went riding with Stóri-Kambur who I could not recommend highly enough. The rides were brilliant, the first ride along the beach was totally liberating and we were free to gallop along anywhere we wanted. The second ride through the lava fields, and then down the highway was both fascinating, educational and exhilarating. There is something so smooth and
right about horse riding, especially as you get faster.
I would love to return, and plan on going for a month in the summer when I am seventeen to take tourists out on rides. I think it would be wonderful.
I brought my film camera with me, so here are some of the photos I took on that. (The first one was taken by my dad)
