This was taken just as the sun was setting at 1:30 p.m. It is amazing how the few daylight hours in January all seem to be golden, and giving such warm colours to the cold landscape.
I think this will probably be my last Winter upload for the season, as things around here in the Netherlands are becoming quite Spring-like.

This is the view one sees on all postcards and posters for sale in town. However, it is not so easy to find the right photography spot. Some of these photos have been taken in places where new buildings have arisen since then, or where shrubbery is now blocking the view. So it took quite a bit of searching, and finally I took the photo from a quite high location, and I am very pleased with the result. I have wanted to get this shot ever since I was there in 1978.

I have just returned from a beautiful trip around Iceland. I experienced just about every kind of weather except snow. I saw many many waterfalls and never grew tired of them. This particular one is a bit special to me because it required a 4WD vehicle to access it. We had brought our own car with us by ferry, and it was finally allowed to show off its 4WD talents.
Aldeyarfoss is known for the basalt colums which surround it. The rainbow was a bonus.

The Danish Kaktus Towers are nice examples of modern architecture in Copenhagen. They were recently completed and now the area around them is being landscaped. I love these lines and shapes, and found this one spot where the pointed balconies seem to be touching.
