My name is Jorunn and I live in Reykjavik. I have great passion for photography and travelling. Icelandic nature is a big inspiration for me. The light and the unique landscape is phenomenal and gives one endless opportunities for photography. I specialise in landscape photography but have also been doing portraits and macro work. I love to share my experience with others and advice people that are planning a visit to Iceland. I have experience doing photo day tours with small group of people to places as Snæfellsnes peninsula, Reykjanes peninsula, the south coast of Iceland and the Golden circle. Im also willing to offer you a tailor made tour of your choice. If you want some great tips about travelling or photographing in those areas or join me on a photo tour please send me a line.

Old Akranes Lighthouse - One of the Most Picturesque Lighthouses in the World

See Akranes on the west coast of Iceland If you are into photography or just interested in exploring new things in Iceland I would like to show you a place that you might find attractive. If you love lighthouses and or abandoned subjects I would recommend a trip or a little detour to Akranes, a town in the west part of Iceland. Either you could take a trip there from Reykjavík or if you are heading North or West you could take a little detour to this little village. Akranes is a port town on the west coast of Iceland about 45 km north of Reykjavík. It’s the ninth most populous town in

Icelandic horses - our friends

If visiting Iceland you will probably get some new cool friends as this one. When travelling around Iceland you will most definitely notice some horses on your way and probably you will see lots of them. I recommend you stop the car at least once because they are really charming and fun to connect with and always willing to mingle. As soon as they notice you they will approach you immediately. Most of the time they are behind a closed fence so they are not totally free. Our horses are very curious and sweet and are always willing to pose for you or allow you to feed them with some

Waterfalls and home of dwarfs & elves

Don't miss Stjórnarfoss waterfall, Foss á Síðu and Dverghamrar rocks while in the south coast of Iceland. I want to mention two beautiful spots on the south coast that many people pass by. I know there are so many places on the south coast to explore and discover and of course you can´t see it all but still I want to share those. If you have plenty of time then I recommend this stop. Stjórnarfoss waterfall The first spot is a very spectacular waterfall called Stjórnarfoss. When you are driving direction east it can´t be seen from the main road even though it’s a short while from the so c

The epic plane wreck on the black beach in South Iceland In 1973 a United States Navy DC plane ran out of fuel and crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, in the South Coast of Iceland. Fortunately, everyone in that plane survived. Later it turned out that the pilot had simply switched over to the wrong fuel tank. The remains are still on the sand very close to the sea. Go here to find the tour to the Sólheimasandur plane wreck. The scener

Exploring the Big Monster Hvítserkur in Northwest Iceland

I'm taking you to the giant monster “Hvítserkur” in Northwest Iceland. If you are driving from Reykjavík to North Iceland or vice versa, and if you have extra time, I recommend taking a detour to Hvítserkur in Vatnsnes peninsula. You could also do a day tour from Reykjavík city. The one-way drive is about 230km. There is a big signal on the main road (NO. 1) pointing to where to turn. After that, you have to drive about 25km gravel road to your destination, but this is a tour you don’t want to miss. Hvítserkur is a 15m high sea stack on the so-called Vatnsnes peninsula which also hosts a

A Day Trip To Waterfalls In West Iceland

Explore two beautiful waterfalls in Borgarfjörður Many people visiting Iceland don't have much time for travelling, but still want to explore some of the beautiful attractions that are here. This article will tell you about some amazing waterfalls close to the capital city Reykjavík. Its common that travelers do the Golden Circle route, which includes the Gullfoss waterfall and the geothermal area of Geysir, and of course I would still recommend you do that too. I think the attractions by the Golden Circle are the most visited in Iceland because they are easy to get to (not so far from

icy Iceland

Experience icelandic winter wonderland There are not everyone who can travel during summer time or some people prefer travelling in winter time. Iceland can be magical during winter and actually I recommend exploring the country this time of year because you discover a totally different world. The spots that where green and vibrant during summer are now suddenly white and frozen and so beautifully quiet somehow. The good thing about travelling in winter is the possibility to have the spots and the waterfalls all to yourself. How awesome is that. Just be sure to drive a sturdy car with goo
