“Sailing trough the fjords towards Akureyri is like sailing straight into a painting.”

Fifty shades of green

As a photographer I’ve been in a lot of beautiful places, most likely because I tent to see the beauty in places other people would walk by without noticing. “Fifty shades of green” would be a perfect name to describe the cliffs we pass, the colours are surreal , the green plants blending with different colours brown from sand and volcano rock. A few clouds are swinging around the 1150 meter high mountains. In the bright sun you can still see the tops covered in a layer of ice and snow.

From the deck of the Wylde Swan?

Endless waterfalls are streaming down into the dark blue waters. From the deck of the Wylde Swan I have a good view and I can easily follow the way the water travels from the snowy tops, streaming down, and eventually reuniting with the sea again.

Whale!

In the peaceful silence all of a sudden we hear a noise, followed by crew shouting “WHALE”. Everybody rushes to the deck to catch a glimpse of the magnificent animal. Twice the whale shows it’s so called “blow” before it disappears again.
