Hólmsárlón
If you leave the ascent to the crater rim of Rauðibotn to the right and take the path to the left, you will come to Lake Hólmsárlón. The Hólmsá flows out of the lake in a small cascade. The turquoise … read more or write a comment …
Black and green Highlands
I had already seen lava and moss two years earlier. Since then I wanted to go here with the drone to get an overview of the mossy river course. The mountains here are the only green area in the landscape … read more or write a comment …
Alone in a Highland Valley
A river winds undisturbed through the highland valley. We are alone on the road and drive over 30 km through this landscape. The F‑road is repeatedly interrupted by the course of the river, so that we are often invited to … read more or write a comment …
Red Craters
In the foreground, three red craters rising from a black ash/lava landscape, and in the background, a mighty highland river running along in front of moss-covered mountains. This is the Icelandic highlands in its purest form. Especially when a blanket … read more or write a comment …
Rhyolite valleys
A landscape full of rhyolite valleys and a small river winding through the middle. Isn’t it great what views a drone can capture? I’ve enjoyed this many times in the lonely areas of the Icelandic Highlands. Again and again you … read more or write a comment …
Fumaroles, Moss & Rhyolite
I had been to this geothermal area once before in 2021, but in completely different conditions. At that time it had rained for days and even on that day the clouds were still so low that nothing could be seen … read more or write a comment …

Akeby in the middle of rapeseed fields

Schneiderhaken near Lindaunis
Again and again I had cycled past this stretch of land. I always thought how it might look if I saw the sand hook that had formed east of the narrows near Lindaunis from a drone’s perspective. This year I … read more or write a comment …
Rapeseed fields from above
The same rapeseed field as before, only this time photographed from a drone. In my drone shots I also love symmetry when possible, in this case the courses of the tractor tracks. You can clearly see the gently undulating landscape … read more or write a comment …
Golden clouds over Angeln
That evening, the golden clouds were rather over the landscape Angeln (between Flensburg and Kappeln) than over landscape Schwansen (south of the Schlei Fjord) and I was thus on the wrong bank of the Schlei. So I let the drone … read more or write a comment …
Above the mouth of the Hólmsá river
Arrived in the evening at the wonderful Hrífunes Guesthouse, I used the golden hour the time to let the drones rise. Below the guesthouse lies the mouth of the Hólmsá into the Kúdaflót, one of the river arms of the … read more or write a comment …
