Photos by Philip S Sutton: on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

You have caught a wonderful winter scene of a beautiful area Philip, I would be proud to have taken such a picture

Merci de ta visite, Roger !

Les lacs sont devenus pour moi le but ultime de chaque randonnée, j'ai sélectionné mes expéditions en fonction de leur présence !

Lada Stupina: Thank you for your comments!

Thanks for re-location suggestion. In fact I originally identified the correct place on Google Earth using marks on the ground after the wood was removed, however, technical problems with the location map prevented accurate location. The photo was taken in the 1960s when the drying rigs were still in use; a bit of local history :-) Other photos in my Icelandic collection may also be out of place for the same reason, so.... local knowledge welcome.

Thanks OcklePoint. You are right. I was taken in by the GE error. I have accepted the reposition.

This photo was taken near El Puerto de La Bonaigua. There are several reed filled lagoons in the area and these horses appeared to be free to graze wherever they wished. Gracias Alfred! De dónde eres?

Compared with the east coast of England, the water of western Scotland is relatively warm, even early in the year: May in this case. For this we have to thank the Gulf Stream. Where the shell sand is incorporated into the pasture, it neutralizes the acidic peat commonly found in the rocky areas.

Thanks Pete! I was lucky with the conditions that evening.

Icelandic glaciers transport a large amount of volcanic ash which at times appears to protect the ice beneath. Note the black cones where ash seems to protect the ice beneath. Click on the photo to enlarge.

This volcanic cone is clearly very recent, proving that the Snaefellsness peninsula is still active along a line of crustal weakness at right angles to the Mid-Atlantic line of plate divergence.
