Þórsmörk and Goðaland

Þórsmörk and Goðaland
Þórsmörk (Thor's wood) is the wooded ridge on the far side of Krossá river (in the middle background of the photo), Goðaland (Land of the Gods) is the area on the near side.
Both Þórsmörk and Goðaland have lush birch forests with flowers like orchids and cranesbill thanks to a sheltered microclimate between the glaciers of Myrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull.

Eine tolle Landschaft und dass es Orchideen in Island gibt, ist die Überraschung des Tages...

Schönen Dank, Udo! Im Netz habe ich eine schlaue Pflanzenseite gefunden- es gibt anscheinend 7 verschiedene Orchideenarten auf Island, zwei davon habe ich mindestens schon gesehen.

Your main shot is beautiful Gudrun. It has a wonderful depth to it.
Wildflowers are more hardy than we give them credit for! Two beautiful PiPs as well.
Wishing you a good new week.

Thanks a lot, Rosa! The flowers and the trees were amazing, we caught them still in bloom because the summer had been cold.

Danke vielmals, Tanja! Eigentlich ist hier die Aussprache gar nicht so schwer;-) Þ wird wie ein stimmloses, hartes englisches th ausgesprochen, ð ist ein stimnhaftes, weiches th.

A beautiful series, Gudrun. If you hadn't given the accompanying information, I would never have thought of these as in Iceland!

Gudrun club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you so much, George! In sheltered corners Iceland can be surprisingly lush and the ash from volcanoes acts as fertilizer.

Such a wonderful landscape...............captured in glorious light and colour. The detail in the foreground is amazing and I love those huge rock formations.

The first PiP is beautifully composed with a nice leading line from the steps. The light and details are gorgeous. The second PiP is also nicely detailed with some lovely wildflowers including that beautiful little wild orchid.

A superb series Gudrun.

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks very much, Keith! Obviously before settlement Iceland had many birch woods like this, but the Vikings cut them all down in record time.... These days there's quite a bit of reforestation going on in the south of the island (species from Siberia or Alaska) though it never does look as good as this native wood.

Wow - what a beautiful series of images Gudrun. A fabulous location and I love your framing in the main image. That wonderful sky is a bonus! The PiPs are really pretty with all those wild flowers. Well captured

Gudrun club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks a lot, Carol! The lush vegetation comes as a real surprise, hiding between the glaciers. A cold summer gave us lots of flowers, they'd usually be gone by end of July.
