At dusk, the beast comes to drink at the waterhole 


Went on the spur of the moment with a very good friend to see the famous and much photographed rock of Hvítserkur. It was an adventurous journey... and at the end of it the beast awaited patiently... :o)

Oddur Jonsson nous l"a présenté il y a 2 mois, mais ta photo est plus jolie : reflet et surtout la couleur qui donne une trés bonne ambiance à ce monstre qui boit....:))) Ce rocher doit-être trés grand....!!!

Pixiepro replies:
Thank you so much Nadine! Yes, the rock is very large, it is about 15 meters high and the white stuff covering it is bird droppings since it is a home to a lot of birds :o)

Pixiepro replies:

Alveg magnað hversu þessi klettur líkist einhverju fornsögulegu skrímsli og litirnir á himninum gera myndina enn dulúðlegri :o)

Great pic of a magic and charming place dear Begga!!! And as far as I can see, you Icelanders are very trendy (in addition to many other qualities)!!! The colour of the moment here in Italy is Wisteria (we call it "Glicine") and I see the Icelandic sky is going to follow this trend!!!! Bravi!!! :-P

Of course we follow the latest trends in colours, even in our nature... ;o)
Thank you Paolo! :o)

Well I don't quite know where my first comment has disappeared to!! So I'd better try again!! :-D

A marvellous shot of this rare beast - one which only those intrepid explorers in northern lands can find!!!! (Probably after a drink or two!! :-D ) I just wonder how this single piece managed to survive alone on the beach after all its friends had been washed away...
Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixiepro replies:
A drink or two is a must on such explorations... ;o) well... at least a drink or two of Coca Cola... or the Icelandic soft drink called Appelsín :D

This rock is really spectacular... and awesome up close. Thanks Nigel! :o)
