By the River

By the river Fnjoska, in Fnjoskardalur, Northern Iceland.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Iceland. I've never managed that (nor have I traveled anywhere outside of North America, except to Japan, twice), but after looking at this amazing photo collection, I can already feel my wanderlust gripping me once again.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you were to write a thousand words (or even just one haiku) about this picture, what would you write?

Everybody I know that has been to Iceland can't say enough to describe it's beauty. If I could afford to go I would as well. Good luck on your journey there, I hope you get the chance.

Well, if you happen to be in the midwest next weekend...

Silence descended
When scene captured on film
Lost sound of water
Beautiful, but lessened.
