She travels with me to the end of the world. She shares with me the World. She likes to do many things I do. She is smart. She is beautiful both outside and inside. She is my partner. She is.

The other day my youngest son Thorsteinn took me for a guided hiking tour on the icefall Sólheimajökull. I really must say he is goooooood . . . . and what an experience. I really can recommend a tour like this as this is something you will never forget.
It’s like entering into another dimension, Woow.
Thorsteinn has worked in the tourism industry as a guide since 2013 were he specializes in activity based tours such as wilderness hiking, caving, glacier hiking and climbing. Having a considerable interest in geology and history he usually has a story ready up his sleeve.
“It‘s not just about getting there, but also about getting back so you can brag about it”
His official education Includes:
– Mountaineering (F.A.S.)
– Wilderness Aid ( Landsbjörg)
– Adventure sport certificate (Thompson Rivers Uni./Keilir)
– Wilderness first responder (Wilderness medical association)
Soon, Discover Wild Iceland will offer private tours on Sólheimajökull where Thor (Thorsteinn) will be your private guide and if you are interested just send us an e-mail to info@discoverwildiceland.com and we will send you a quota and tell you all about it.

Shot with a fisheye lens over a cliff with an inverted tripod in order to get the camera as close to those beautiful flowers as possible. This is a combination of two exposures, one for the flowers and one for the sky and water. Ideally, I would have shot this with an ND filter to get the water creamy since there are no great waves, however I still haven’t purchased a filter holder, thus making it impossible to use any filter on this fisheye (no threads).

“Funny story”: Just before this was taken, a group of dogs came running my way, so my girlfriend picked up my camera bag, and to my horror I heard and saw my brand new 85mm f/1.4 lens jumping out of the bag and rolling towards the edge of the cliff. I was saved by about 10cm (4 inches for you imperials). As you can imagine I was still a bit shaky thereafter as my new lens would have fallen from 10m (32ft) into the sea water..

So for all you girlfriends out there, please be careful with our precious equipment and we shall continue to love you as much as said equipment.
