Team 2008

As promised, I have begun the long process of sorting out all my photos ... though apparently at 800+ I don't win the prize for having taken the most pics!

Here are a selection of the 'team photos' taken at a variety of locations during our trip....

Day one at the Krusyvik geothermal area..... our first sight of steam and smell of sulphur...

It was hard to turn your backs to a geyser but you managed and this was the result.....The view from Ljotipollur gave a glimpse of the interior of Iceland with distant volcanoes

The geothermal area at Graenagil in Landmannalaugar was very smelly....

The top of Eldfell on Heimaey in the Westman Islands took some beating as a 'team photo' location...

What you can't see here in this next photo is that we were all pretty wet after our drenching in the spray at the bottom of Skogafoss...

Water, in its solid form, forms the backdrop here at Solheimajokull..

And, finally, saying farewell to our host Hinrik at Husid yesterday morning...

Keep watching the blog and I will upload some more pics over the next week as a reminder of what we did on each day.

I have already started working on your souvenir CD which will get its 'premiere' at the follow up evening in September. In the meantime, remember to get your entries ready for our photo competition. The categories (in case you have forgotten) are :

1. Funniest photo

2. Best captioned photo

3. Finest composition (that rule of thirds!)

4. "Essence of Iceland"

5. Compilation - a geyser, a glacier, a waterfall and a volcano

We are really looking forward to seeing all your pics, some of which will be shown and rewarded at the follow-up evening.
