Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon is a beautiful, awe inspiring sight in southern Iceland… and one we were lucky to see! It was closed to visitors for some time due to damage to the landscape from people choosing not to respect the fragile environment, but luckily it had reopened just before our arrival. We explore this magnificent place and revel in its breathtaking scenery, while hoping people will choose to be responsible and respectful of the landscape in the future.

Gullfoss

This magnificent waterfall was one of the most anticipated stops on our journey through Iceland! An enormous rush of water cascading down to a plummet into a beautiful canyon, Gullfoss is a standout waterfall in a land known for waterfalls. We felt the rush of the water as it crashed into the rocks, got a bit wet from the spray, and if the falls weren’t gorgeous enough… we were treated to a rainbow arching over the canyon!

Cnoc Suain

Cnoc Suain was the center of our honeymoon ten years ago. It was where we made our home base, it was the site of the little village on the hill with our cottage An Nead. It was where we woke every morning to the stillness of the Irish countryside or the thrill of running through the fields with the dogs and pony. Today, we revisit the land of Cnoc Suain, walking those same bogs and fields, passing through those amazing buildings, and learning of how they’ve grown since our last visit.

We venture into the bog, walking through the grassland, capturing the breathtaking views, and learning much about this important natural wonder.
