Yay, made it to #Iceland, in interesting conditions… 😳❄️

Not feeling so bad about my cancelled flight tonight after hearing that 4 flights were just outside Keflavík at 2.30ish when the bad weather hit & were diverted to Akureyri. They're stuck on the planes, waiting for new crew to be flown up there to fly the planes to Keflavík. So about 10 hours delay!

Finally rebooked on a flight to #Iceland very early tomorrow morning so shouldn't lose much time. What an unwelcome drama! Fingers crossed tomorrow is a little more successful. Talking of drama, here's a photo from that ridiculous view again, from March 2019.

Oh noooo - my flight to #Iceland tonight is cancelled due to bad weather there. Waiting to see when I can go :(

A selection of swirling reflection videos - so mesmerising. Probably needs a click. #CanaryWharf #iPhone15Pro

This week’s reflections at #CanaryWharf taken on a wander at lunchtime on my #iPhone15Pro I love reducing these office buildings to abstract art :)

Colourful northern lights and Milky Way over Snæfellsjökull #Iceland last February.

Back to B&W. Snow & wind making interesting driving conditions; not for the nervous driver, that's for sure. Always check the conditions before you set off in #Iceland... especially in winter.

Haven't posted much colour recently, so here's some varying turquoise ice from Feb 2020. #Iceland #AwesomeFoursome

I always wear wellies (my beloved Grubs Boots!) when I visit Stokksnes beach - such fun to photography the incoming waves, hoping that the water doesn't actually go over the top of them (it does sometimes!). Feb 2020 #Iceland

Stunning snow at Stokksnes, on this day in 2020. Had I stayed a little longer, I would've seen an upright piano being brought onto the beach and a magnificent performance by Hania Rani and dancers! #Iceland

A snowy day at Stokksnes, #Iceland, Feb 2020

Windy weather makes wild waves. Hvalnes, #Iceland, Feb 2020

Even in drab light, some scenes in #Iceland are still magical. Stokksnes, Feb 2020.

Also on this day in 2020, a lovely sunset at one of the coolest ever beaches. #Iceland

The weekend starts here! Another blast from the past - and more wild waves from the stormy February trip. On this day six years ago - the most enormous but graceful waves I ever did see... Hvalnes, #Iceland

Icebergs don't actually come in pink, or do they...? Another photo from six years ago at Jökulsárlón #Iceland

Another wonderful iceberg, this one at dawn, on Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón, on this day in 2020. #Iceland

Dragon scales perhaps? A golden iceberg from the beach at Jökulsárlón in south-east #Iceland 6 years ago.

Today’s selection of office reflections at #CanaryWharc at lunchtime, armed only with an #iPhone15pro. #abstract

Happy Year of the Horse! Good excuse to post this again :) #Iceland #blackandwhite #YearoftheHorse

This day six years ago didn't finish too badly either - beautiful dusk colours at my favourite place in the world - Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón, #Iceland, with a stunning turquoise iceberg in the surf 🥰

On this day in 2020 - just before the world went crazy for a while - I experienced the wildest storm and incredible waves at Reynisfjara beach. This is one of my favourites from that day. Just booked a last-minute trip to go back to #Iceland next weekend, so I'm sure I'll get some stormy weather...

An oldie from the magnificent Stokksnes beach in south-east #Iceland from March 2017. If you don't already follow me on Instagram, have a look at my account - I sometimes post a bit more on there, and video quality seems better there than on here :) www.instagram.com/sophiecarrph...

A few more views of the wonderful Museo de las Ciencias in #Valencia from my trip last month. #CanonR5markii

Beautiful explosion of colour from @yvesbroeckx.bsky.social 🧡❤️

Worth going out just to hear this excited song thrush and look at my favourite apple tree :) Northchurch Common, #Berkhamsted

Finally some sunshine! Forced myself to get up early, hoping for wintry conditions, but only the slightest touch of frost. Nice on the dead ferns though. Northchurch Common #Berkhamsted #CanonR6markii

A few more ice formations from that day in the canyon in south-east #Iceland in Feb 2020. Love the variety of weird shapes you get.

Love the ice formations that you get over running water in winter. Seen in #Iceland in Feb 2020.

The weekend starts here! And it’s time for the freaky fur mini-me cocker spaniel! And the not-too-happy-about-it previous owner of said fur 🤣

Another oldie from my Feb 2018 trip to #Iceland. Sometimes the little bergy bits that wash up on the Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón make the most stunning sculptures, which within minutes/hours will be gone.

On this day in 2018 I was standing on my favourite beach taking photos of the waves. Just love #Iceland so much 🥰🇮🇸

This is really powerful from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @thenerve.news - it’s worse than we ever thought…

I was back in #CanaryWharf today so took some more iPhone shots of the reflections. Must take proper camera!

Haven't posted any photos of geological wonders for a while, so here's an #AwesomeFoursome from the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland taken last February.

Last Feb I went back to Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland, where I'd been stuck in snow the previous Jan, hoping for something similar. Didn't get a flake of snow! I was able to explore more, including these amazing obsidian cliffs with waves constantly crashing over them though :)

Last one for tonight, another from that day... Reynisfjara, #Iceland Feb 2020

One more from that smashing morning! Reynisfjara, #Iceland, Feb 2020

Here's another photo from that incredible storm in Feb 2020 at Reynisfjara in #Iceland. When the sun comes out against a stormy sky it's just the best!

Some days will stay with you forever. This was taken on an incredible stormy morning at Reynisfjara in south #Iceland in Feb 2020. Never seen anything like it.

A chunk of cliff has just fallen off at Reynisfjara at the entrance to the beach; the beach has also been gouged out. I've seen this once before, & on the next visit the beach was back. Will be interesting to see how quickly it recovers. Basalt columns & stacks aren't affected. #Iceland Mar 2019

Oooh now that’s a lovely image from @craigmcg.bsky.social 😍

The weekend starts here! Here's another oldie from #Iceland taken in Feb 2018. This is Lómagnúpur, my favourite mountain on the island! #Canon5Diii

Ugh, today I move into an older age bracket which is a bit depressing, although ageing is a privilege... I don’t feel that old 🤷🏼‍♀️ Here’s a card a friend sent a couple of years ago - definitely resonates!

A very old #Iceland photo, continuing on the Skógafoss theme. This was taken on my first solo photography trip there (4th ever trip) back in March 2012. Bit of a life-changing trip :) Anyway, unlikely to get the place to oneself now as you did back in those days...

Love a bit of @savagechickens.bsky.social :)

Another photo from Skógafoss - in very different conditions. This was Feb 2018 - never seen it like this before - with crazy icicles everywhere! #Iceland #Canon5DIV

Another picture of Skógafoss, this time from March 2016. I love the way the water falls and sometimes you get these breaks - looking as it the couple are going to walk into the gap! #Iceland #Canon5DmarkIII
