Great day in Mývatn
In Mývatn I spent a lot of time. What a beautifull place. Mývatn and Skaftafell is my favorite places after this trip. So I drove all around Mývatn, following the sun and the light and shadow thing. Great to have finaly sun and no rain. Walked about 10 km, to Dimmuborgir, up to Hverfell and and many small places. If I would have more time I had spend 1-2 more days there, so crazy plase. Insted I drove to Húsavík. There I met my friend from Italy and France, guys that I drove to Egilsstaðir. From Húsavík id drove to Akureyri where I am now. Geting me ready to keep going and mabe just go to Reykjavík and finish my trip. Distans to Reykjavík is 381 km.

From Ásbyrgi I drove a nother gravel road and my destination was Mývatn. This two roads to and from Ásbyrgi was made in hell, but ofcourse this is 4x4 jeep road and u can chose another better road to Ásbyrgi ofcourse. On my way I went to see alot of intresting places like Karl og Kerling, Dettifoss, Selfoss. More information later about this places.
Rain, rain and more rain. When I was in Dettifoss I wait in my car for about 15 min, then the big gray sky had empty the watertank I went out to take photos, still in a rain... hehe. Great waterfalls there and amazing atmosphere. When the nature is so big, powerfull, and just overwhelming I get strange feeling, like not save and unsecure. get stressed because of the landscape. Really strange and I dont fell good but great, beautifull place and I would go there again. So much power there.
Drive along and took alot of pictures, have taken over 24 mb of photos. And later on Im going to put final image later here with more informations about this places that I have visiting.
After driving this endless gravel road, I finally came on a main road to Mývatn. There was a few people going on horses and took amazing photos there.
I came to Myvatn about 21:00 and this is so beautifull. Wooowww. Going to sleep here and next day Im going to photograph many intresting things around here. I just love this place. My favorite so on.
Next trip from Mývatn in to Akureyri.
SIT, AND STAY THERE !
Well trained horse, just lik my dog.

In Egilsstaðir I drove around the place. Nice place. This is where we have our forrest in Iceland and also where Kárahnjúkar. Biggest hydropower damn here in Iceland. Went there and on the outside its nothing special, big, but nothing more than that. The everything was closed there so I couldn go inside the damn where the things are going on and mabe more catchy things. At least I have seen it. The people, most foreigner, who build it should have award for it in this dangerous and hard conditions.
After that I went to Hallormsstaðarskógur. Yes, we have a forrest here in Iceland, and back to Egilsstaðir, whent to small swimmingpool there, took a few photos and on the road again to my next destination. The trip whent from Egilsstaðir to Ásbyrgi. The road to Ásbyrgi is terrible to drive. Throug the years I have heard people talking about this place. Ok beautyfull place but for me I thing nothing speciall, but mabe I have to search and walk more in the area.
Driving in rain to Ásbyrgi, but got sun for a 5 min and alot of rain. I have been in wet clothes all the time..... nice :)

zo on - zo on
Im a live.
Report from yeasterday, 31. august : After all the drama before I was on my rout to Skaftafell. Bigest national park in europe. It was about 130-160 km from the Seljalandsfoss the waterfall to Skaftafell. But I need more drama for sure.... Whats going on...
I was on my way and got call from one guy and he said that I have to go and take picture of part of airplane that are in a area between the waterfall and Skaftafell, and he told me the right gate that I had to go throug but nothing more. So I went throug the right gate but wrong direction and got stuck in the sand. So I had to call police, that call nearest farmer that call me and came and save me. Here in Iceland we have Hjálparsveit Skáta, people around Iceland working for nothing but the the mission, save people. Volunteer that are ready t0 sacrifice their time and put them selfs often in danger for u. So when I got stuck in the sand and a farmer came and saved my ass just paid him 5000 isk kr. for him, oil and to so thanks alot for the help, he is part of this association, Hjálparsveit Skáta. When I was stuck there I just play on my harmonica and relaxed. But when I whent out twice, big birds, Skúmur/Stercorarius skua, almost killed me. What the fu.... They almost kill me.
So I got out from the sand and back to road 1. Raining all the time and I got this mystic strange cool light. Great situation to take picture. Whent to alot of places and about 15:00 I was in Skaftafell, bigest national park in europe. I met there one of my girlfriend, Margrét, and we had amazing time, drove about 150 km all around, took bunch of pict. and in the end of the night we had a few beers and hot tub. Like a dream. Realy good dream.
P.S. Thx for y0ur comment :)
