Keilir 


Every town in Iceland has its own special mountain it likes to call its own... and thinks of course is the most magnificent mountain in the land ;o)

My hometown, Hafnarfjörður, has Keilir (which really means "cone" ... easily explained by its shape) :o)

This morning I hiked to the top of Keilir... too bad there is no road leading to it where it stands in a lava field... so one has to start (and end) with a 3 1/2 km. walk from and to the car.

The weather was beautiful and the walk was... invigorating :o)

Now it's my turn to say Wow Nigel :o) Thank you so much! :D ... and I'll be very happy to send it to you!

My legs were a bit tired... it was good to come home, take a steaming shower and lie down on the sofa... and eat my Easter chocolate egg! :D

Hmmm... I have my settings so that exif properties should be visible... don't know why they aren't here. But anyways... I took my lovely little Oly with me on this hike ;o)

Glæsilegt ,
góður árangur hjá þer að fara af stað ég hugsa og hugsa en þarf að drífa mig upp.
Er það rétt að efsti parturinn sér erfiðastur og setturðu nafnið þitt í gestabókina, hvað varstu lengi að labba upp ???.
Læt þig vita þegar ég er búinn að fara þarna upp.

Takk takk Gunnar! Ég er sammála, aðal málið er að koma sér upp úr sófanum, það er erfiðasti kaflinn :o) Svo það er bara að drífa sig af stað...

Efsti parturinn er svolítið brattur og laus í sér og stórgrýttur, en ekkert stórmál ef maður er á góðum skóm og með stafi til stuðnings á niðurleiðinni :o) Það er bók uppi sem maður skrifar í já, ég kvittaði fyrir mig :o)

Frá bílnum og aftur til baka tekur ca. 3 tíma... fer eftir því hvað stoppin eru löng :o)

The sky is absolutely amazing Begga! Did you use long exposure to make the clouds look flying fast?
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixiepro replies:
Thank you so much Angela... the clouds were really beautiful. I did not use long exposure, I guess it was very windy that high up :o) Just two hours later the sky was totally cloudy...

Pixiepro replies:
Yes you're right John, that's the start of the trail leading through the lava field up to Keilir :o)

Finnst skýin alveg mögnuð á þessari mynd... og greinilega farið að vora hjá þér, nægur snjór hérna ennþá :o)

Pixiepro replies:
Takk takk Oddur... eins og svo oft þá sá ég ekki hvað skýin voru flott fyrr en myndin var komin í tölvuna. Ótrúlegt hvað maður getur verið blindur með alla þessa fegurð fyrir framan sig :o)
