Island (iceland) is one of those places that you
just can't help going back to.
a jewel in the north
full of dramatic scenery and nature at its most raw.
these images were taken over several trips touring by bicycle and on foot
for viewing only.

'Land of the midnight sun'
this was taken during the night in summertime.
due to 24 hour daylight I would often ride late into the night
and early hours of the morning.
'just because I could'
not every road in iceland is sealed.
in less frequented places with small populations
unsealed Roads like these with 'washboard like' corrugations
turn into a quagmire when it rains making the going very tough.
sticky soft mud does its best to adhere to your tyres
to form what resembles crunchy peanut butter.

lions mane or arctic red jellyfish
This beach stranded lions mane was just under 2 foot wide
in diameter.
they have been known to grow over 6 foot wide
and prefer cold northern waters.
trailing tentacles may be as long
as 100 feet.
