Medford Oregon Photographer - Beautiful colors and composition in these shots. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the one with the thin tree in the foreground, slightly off to the left, but I really just like the overall effect of the many looks and feelings evoked by Reykjavik.

Stacey - I have just returned from iceland and was wanting to find out more about the airplane crash and I happened accross your website (which I wich I found before I went). We were lucky enough to find the plane thanks to an App and drove as close as we could. It was a great site to see!!
