Thanks for the incredibly fantastic travelogue! Your words and photos blend together into an amazing journey for us job-bound folks. Makes me want to grab a tent and sleeping bag, buy a bike and head out there. I truly appreciate your skills, thank you.

Excellent thread! I have been slowly working my way through the thread for the last several days and enjoying the pictures very much. The infrared films are very interesting, especially some of the Aerochrome shots. I particularly like the boat shot with the grass appearing like parting water, as others mentioned.

I hope to find an opportunity to visit Iceland and the Faroe Islands one day in the not too distant future. They are on my top 10 list of places to travel, for sure. So I am doubly enjoying following along on your journey photographically.

The road took us to one of the highest passes in Iceland:

With impressive views just below cloudline:

And before heading to our destination port (i.e. the ferry back to mainland Europe) we decided to touch the final extreme point in the eastern side. The way to Dalatangi takes one along a rough and narrow trail along the northern coast of Mjóifjörður.

A spectacular symphony awaits the traveller at the edge of the high and rugged shore: waterfalls, steep cliffs an vales with the roaring ocean below are not cut out for those suffering from vertigo! At the end of the road - as far eastward as possible - awaits the farm and the lighthouses.

Kudos!

For color I use IT8 calibrated workflow for slides, color negatives I do with my eye judgement. Some info on my scanning and workflow you'll find here.

Cheers,
