Sunset and Moonrise at Blafjöll


Pictures are at the bottom...

An unexpected, yet greatly appreciated dumping of snow over the weekend gave me an afternoon learning to fly a kite again, (A kite is a better purchase than ice tools, as you can use it in the sea, and on the snow, year round) and also getting in a bunch of skiing. I went up monday after work for another session, and had a fabulous time.

Having to learn how to ski in powder, and generally just getting the experience levels up, but lots of fun. Here's a bunch of pictures taken as I was arriving, and the sun was setting against the mountains. Beautiful Iceland
