Ice Ice Baby….

Trish Burgess Posted on03/03/201007/04/2016 The gallery 23 Comments

Tara Cain at Sticky Fingers has introduced a new blogging idea, The Gallery. Many of us enjoy putting photos on our blog and this way we can showcase them altogether.

Tara said: “Every week I will give you a prompt, an idea, a notion and you go out and take a photograph using that prompt. Or just use a photo you already have.
Post it on your blog and write about it.”

The theme this week is beauty.

The photo I have chosen is of Jokulsarlon, in Iceland. We visited in 2007 and took a little boat trip on this glacial lagoon. Icebergs float in the lake and then gradually drift out to sea. It was such a striking place, to me very beautiful; nature in the raw.

Go and visit Tara’s gallery for more gorgeous pics of beauty in nature as well as chocolate, children and cows!

    Oh wow that sure is impressive. "nature in the raw" – ooo, sounds so great and actually makes me feel the cold!
    Thanks so much for joining in x

    We went on a boat on a glacial lake, complete with icebergs in New Zealand and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Good pic! x

    I love ice and in particular icebergs. Saw some very beautiful ones in the Arctic when I treked there in 1999 – I will never forget it. But aren't they noisy!

    Thanks for all your lovely comments. I wish my camera had been better at the time as some of the lagoon had a fabulous turquoise colour which I just didn't capture in this photo.
    They use this lagoon for a lot of film settings -a boat chase in the James Bond film, Die Another Day,and Lara Croft Tomb Raider!

    I love this – it's like something out of National Geographic (or whatever it's called!)

    Oh, this makes me want to see it in real-life. That is one beautiful photo.

    Wow, that's amazing.
    (I was going to say 'that's so cool!@ but I resisted. Almost :P)
    Brilliant picture.

    Stunning and as you say, very raw – I had heard Iceland is a beautiful place and this photo affirms this.

    Amazing photograph, I imagine it would have been incredible to be so close to such huge icebergs.

    So fantastic! I've always wanted to go to Iceland but never found anybody wanting to come with me! I suppose everybody thinks it's too cold. Which time of the year did you go? They say to go up to March if you eant to see the Northern Lights. All the best. Ciao. A.

    Your photograph is on my list of things to photograph before I die. I just have to be able to get to see iceburgs and iceflow, preferably the south pole… (this may be a huge personal challenge!) but once it is complete, I can lay down happily. I'm very envious of you. A beautiful photograph

    Lunarossa – we went in late July/early August so that we could get all around the island (it was a fly/drive holiday). It's the wrong time to see the Northern Lights but it was less cold and more accessible (anything from 5 degrees to a heady 15 one day!).

    Thanks for all the other comments – this gallery has been great for getting to know other people's blogs, hasn't it!

    Annie – just seen your comment. If you don't manage to get to the South Pole, Iceland is so easy to get to from here (and much cheaper than it used to be). This lagoon was fed with these mini-icebergs from the glacier. Quite surreal. Fantastic holiday.

    What an amazing picture. Iceland is one of the places I would really, really like to go (my husband always laughs at this as I hate the cold.)It just seems really different and wild and surreal (like you say above). I bought The Rough Guide to Iceland once and it sits on my shelf, looking at me. One day.
