Taken on our very last traveling day in Iceland, a perfect reflection with some interesting colors in the sky.

Unfortunately, without cell service, I did not know exactly where this was.

Thank you for having a look, wishing you a happy new week!

Taken last night, the night after Mid-Autumn Festival, aka Moon Festival...

"Falling on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, Mid-Autumn Festival is when families gather to sample autumn harvests, light lanterns and admire the fullest moon of the year. It's a time for families to hold reunions, similar to our Thanksgiving Day. The moon is the fullest on this day, and the circle shape signifies "reunion" in Chinese culture."

Thank you for your visit/comment/fave; have a pleasant day!

We got to the location by 1pm, walked the field and took many shots, and I came up with a few compositions and planned to use them for the sunset shoot.

We had no other places to go that day, couldn't go hiking as the rain just ended in the morning, so we just waited patiently inside the van for sunset to arrive.

The covered bridge, the pond and the fence were located in the middle of an open field, about 100 feet from the main road. It's on a private property with erected signs that said "Do not drive or park on the field".

Over the decades it has become a photographic hotspot with tourists came here throughout the days, walking around and taking photos and selfies, many even going inside the covered bridge.

By 5:30pm, a man and a woman drove up and positioned their tripods on the roadside directly in front of the bridge. They then blocked the rest of the road with their car, ensuring no one could place a tripod near them.

Long story short, basically they wanted the entire scene for themselves, not letting anyone to go near the bridge.

The woman was very nasty and rude, she told me I couldn't put my tripod near them. I told her I was here much earlier and scouted out a few shooting locations and this was one of them.

Then 3 other photogs arrived....

The man was "polite" and "begged" us to keep 20 yards away from the fence, for he planned to be there until nightfall.

We all tried to reason with him but got nowhere. He could not spare even a minute for us to take a photo! With the time he spent "pleading" with us, we could have taken our photos and went on our merry way.

I ended up taking a few photos from afar.

I am interested to know what you would do under these circumstances, thanks for reading my rant!
