Imagine that you started a transatlantic boat journey from Ushuaia, Argentina, planning to end up somewhere between France and Spain in order to put together a settlement.
Only, bad news, you didn't calculate your trajectory right and you've gone a little bit more up north than needed.
What's in front of you is now the Lofoten Islands, even more north than the arctic circle.
Sure it looks pretty.
But it also looks intimidating.
Also, with those giants walls starting right from the edge between sea and land, where the hell will you pitch that tent of yours?
If only you had brought mountain goats instead of chickens...

One snow capped mountain range diving in the sea on the left, one snow capped mountain range diving in the sea on the right, one flat island to connect the two.
Could it be Iceland?
Could we be standing on the side of one of its beloved fjord?
Well ,where else?

There was once a picture called the Trench Connection :

As you can see, it has a lot to do with this one. Except that the two pictures have been taken three days and many hundred kilometers apart.
My guess is that this what you get for being caught in fjord magic. One continuous perfect view on those utterly perfect places.

Sneaky Iceland.
It's waiting until everyone's asleep to gather up a sunset, a reflection, a high view above the sea, some clouds in the making and, even more special down there, an immaculate blue sky.
No one is here to see it besides me. I'm on the road and it's midnight on icelandic spring.

There was once a side of mighty Reykjarfjörður that was in the top of its form, as light hearted as a feeding hummingbird and as encouraging as a full half glass. It had a wonderful waterfall running down its flank and welcomed every bit of sunlight it could grasp.
There was also a side of mighty Reykjarfjörður that was feeling a bit gloomy. Its mood, like its flanks, was dark. It had winter remains of snow everywhere to keep it cold, which didn't help it to share the cheerfulness of its opposite neighbour, even despite hosting an arctic fox that I saw a bit later.
Now, give some time for the sun to set in the west and re-appear in the east, and check the sides of mighty Reykjarfjörður once again.
My guess is that their personality will have taken a 180° turn.
The sides of mighty Reykjarfjörður have the same temperament as a weathercock hooked on sunshine.
