Family Portrait
At 11 at night, in the cold and wind, I dragged my daughters out to this waterfall to take photos. Looks can be deceiving, that small section of the falls to the right of us actually drops down about 39 feet to the pool below. Goðafoss Waterfall in Northern Iceland.

Hverfjall, Iceland
We swung by Hverfjall today and I took the drone up to capture this shot. Hverfjall is tuff ring volcano, formed 2500 years old during a volcanic eruption. The crater is about 1 km in diameter and 140 meters deep. That small white dot in front of it, at the base, next to the pond is our rental car. This whole area is littered with volcanoes and lava formations.

A Crack in the Earth
This is a shot of the the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates come together in Iceland. It's the only place where these tectonic plates can be seen on land, and you can walk between them. And while they look amazing from the ground, an aerial view shows just how massive this crack in the earth looks. Note the automobile road to the right of the photo. The right half of the crack is in this photo is the Eurasian plate and the left half is the North American plate. The plates move apart at approximately 2.5 centimeters a year has they have for thousands of years. This was shot just outside of Thingvellir National Park.

Everyone Look This Way
Magnificent Icelandic horses are all over the country and while I was flying the drone around I thought it would be fun to get their photo from the air. They were not spooked in the least. Although as you can see from the pic, they were curious enough to look my direction for a photo.

Gluggafoss aka Merkjárfoss via Drone
Actually a series of waterfalls. For a sense of scale see the stairstep, walking path to the left, at the bottom. This was one of my favorite falls due to its complexity. Unfortunately the weather was bad and I only had a short time here before it rained and the wind picked up to 35mph.

Crepuscular Rays
I saw sunset was going to be a good one and headed out to see what I could capture. A couple of blocks away spotted this cross at the top of the church and by then the rays were emanating from the sun. Light rays. Cross. Sometimes it's all about where you position the flying camera that makes the shot.

Welcome to Texas
I shot this in September on my way to my last Austin visit. This is actually at the I-35 Texas/Oklahoma boarder however it's been re-imagined just a bit. I've edited out I-35 and kept the service road in the shot. It's makes for a much prettier Texas, in my opinion. :) Part of the Over Austin collection at http://photos
Looking Out. Hamilton Pool Preserve
Located 3/4 mile upstream from its confluence with the Pedernales River, Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50-foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The pool is located about 23 miles west of Austin, Texas off Highway 71.
