Travel Vicariously from home

 My travels continue vicariously from home, in  a warm comfortable room, not outdoors in the freezing cold. But further north for a few days in Iceland.

The scenery is barren, even in summer,  a little green in places,  temperatures according to yr.no have varied from 2 Celsius, to a warm 29 C. 

Feast your eyes on some of that northern beauty.

Definitely a photo heavy post today.

This is definitely my favourite. 









These might all be near the southern coastline area.

But maybe the highlight of this short trip would be the underwater scuba  adventure.  Crystal clear water, blues and greens and some topaz as well.





And so ends my armchair travel for now.

I have joined  Jill Benson's  Bagineers Swap n Sew.  This will be so  exciting.,

 Such fun to be a part of an online group right here in NZ.

Quotation of the day, author unknown

" A Job might fill your pocket,
 but an adventure
 fills your heart and soul"

Greetings from Jean.

It's amazing...what we think Iceland looks like in our minds and what it really looks like! A great way to travel while you are toasty warm! Lori

I remembered that you had travelled there, a friend down here is a professional photographer and she and others from NZ went to Iceland in winter!!! A totally different look to the landscape, and travel as well,
