I was sitting the the office one day and noticed this parent and child riding their bikes. They evidently needed to traverse the stairs. I watched as the parent patiently coached the child about carrying the bike up the steps. It was touching and affirming as the child accomplished a challenging task. Then they rode…

I’m often asked, when is the best time to visit Iceland? My response is that “its always a good time to visit Iceland.” In fact, today is a good day to visit Iceland. So go. See the Perla. (Reykjavik, Iceland, 2024)

This is not a great photo–I will be the first to say that. However I love the light here. I was rushing somewhere–but had to pause to capture the light. (Reykjavik, Iceland, 2024)

My friends Michael and Cristan had come to visit me in Iceland. It was a truly Icelandic visit, because the weather was “Icelandic” and my friends were “all in” as we maneuvered in the countryside, with the wind and rain. (Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, 2024)

The mid-afternoon sun backlit me as I shot photos down the black beach below. This is one of my favorite photos from that trip because I had fallen earlier in the week and smashed and scraped my face (pretty ugly) and you can’t see this here. (Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland, 2024)

I know that this is the 3rd photo of the Goðafoss horseshoe. It was just so striking from every angle. (Goðafoss, Iceland, 2025)

It is a stunning little waterfall, dwarfed by other falls in Iceland and in this case…

We were driving back to our hotel on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, we were tired but we still opted to take a quick detour to to see Svöðufoss. It was one of those late afternoons when the light does more work than the waterfall. (Snæfellsnes, Iceland 2024)

Dynjandi is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords and well worth the trip. The day I went, the trail was still under reconstruction but we were still able to climb up to the base of the falls. (Arnarfjörður, Iceland, 2024)

I had been to Dettifoss before and I wanted better photos of the space. The road was closed to the other side and the place where I took photos in 2021 was impassable due to snow that was still covering the trail (center right of the photo). Didn’t get the shots I wanted but spent…
