Vaglaskógur is getting all yellow and red. It's wintertime soon and the colors will be replaced by snowy days and dark nights.

Quiet sunset

Quiet sunset

I spent this quiet sunset on cliffs close to Grenivík, a small town in Eyjafjörður.

Grýtubakkahreppur er sveitarfélag við austanverðan Eyjafjörð. Það nær frá Víkurskarði norður alla Látraströnd en byggð er mest í kringum Höfða og þar er sjávarþorpið Grenivík. Yfir Grenivík gnæfir fjallið Kaldbakur.
Grýtubakkahreppur tilheyrir Suður-Þingeyjarsýslu fremur en Eyjafjarðarsýslu samkvæmt hefðbundinni sýsluskiptingu landsins. Í kosningum um sameiningu sveitarfélaga sem fram fóru 8. október 2005 höfnuðu íbúar hreppsins tillögu um sameiningu allra sveitarfélaga við Eyjafjörð með miklum meirihluta, einungis 2 voru samþykkir tillögunni af þeim 256 sem greiddu atkvæði.

Draumur ferðalangsins

Draumur ferðalangsins

Strokkur (Icelandic for "churn") is a fountain geyser in the geothermal area beside the Hvítá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of Reykjavik. It is one of Iceland's most famous geysers,[1] erupting about every 4-8 minutes 15 - 20 m high, sometimes up to 40 m high.[2]

Water at a depth of 23 metres (75 ft) is around 120 °C (248 °F), but cannot boil because of the weight of the water pushing down on it from above. When this water is forced up to around 16 metres (52 ft), some of the water may be above boiling point, which sets off the chain reaction: the pressure decrease allows more water to boil and flash boil into steam, which drives the unboiled water further up the conduit. As this happens closer and closer to the surface, with increasing velocity, the water and steam is forced out, and it is this mixture of water and steam that forms the eruption.[3]
