Iceland - part.3




We also saw the summer house of the prime minister which sits in a magnificent setting but, a bit far from.... well citizens.  Anyhow, a great place to be.  Once again you have a feeling of being in some painting made to silence the viewer sending his mind wondering for a moment or two.  







We then went to quite an impressive waterfall before going to see the geysers!  In Iceland, they don’t call them geysers.  Just hot springs.  Geyser is the actual name of one specific hot springs and when the first visitors came and were told that it was name Geyser, they assumed that every source of hot water shooting up in the air was called a geyser.  The Geyser hot springs is not that active compared to the Strokkur which would erupt every 7 minutes or so.  Here’s a picture of the moment it’s about to erupt.  It’s basically a big ball a water forming and exploding into a 10 meters high stream.





That’s about it for now.  Sorry if you were expecting a more London oriented report but rest assured, that will come later.  Meaning I still have to take the pictures and tweak them before.
