Driving along the southcoast of Iceland.
Icebergs and waterfalls
Month: June 2013
Stranded Iceberg at Jökulsárlón
Jökulsárlón is a lagoon in Iceland and the place where the Breiðamerkurjökull ends. Small icebergs from the Vatnajökull can so reach the sea. However depending on the winds they sometimes strand on the beach like this one.

Old and rusty crane
This panorama shows an old and rusty machine. In better times it surely was a trusty machine but now it’s only rusty…
I also used this panorama for the WWP event ‘machines’. You can find my original publication here.[pano file=”https://www.panotwins.de/wp-content/panos/JMatern_130623_8016-8025_RM.xml” preview=”https://www.panotwins.de/wp-content/panos/JMatern_130623_8016-8025_RM.jpg”]
