The lava channel - Búrfellsgjá 


Uploaded this one for dini :o)

Went hiking on Sunday morning in a place called Búrfellsgjá. It's a walk along a wide lava channel that was made by a lava flow from the cinder cone Búrfell. This place is a geologists dream ;o)

This is the view from the cinder cone, down along the lava channel..

UPDATE: Thanks to Hafdís for providing me with the right names of things, i.e. Búfell is a cinder cone and Búrfellsgjá is a lava channel. The lava is 8000 years old!

The inset note really gives this view a sense of scale! Marvellous! Bet the breeze was "fresh" up there!! Canon or Olympus (as if I didn't know!!! :-D)

Pixiepro replies:
I should almost have had someone to stand in front of the "wave" for scale... but the footprints give some sort of scale :o) And yes, the breeze was really "fresh" (read: cold!) ;o)

Hehe... guilty as charged! I used the Canon. But I'm thinking about giving my little Oly a chance again soon, I kind of miss it :o)

Yes, I was in my local camera-shop today and looking at the Olympus E-520. A really well-built camera which felt really nice to hold (some of the better DSLRs are so big). The only thing I didn't like was the reliance on CF or XD cards...

:-))

:-D No, I don't think I can justify changing cameras yet - I don't use the Nikon enough!! But I still like to keep up with the latest models!! :-D :-D
