Iceland, august 2015.

We travelled in Hornstrandir penisula, a wild area in the north-east of Iceland, the place of arctic foxes (see about foxes my previous post: @barnabo73/hornstrandir-iceland-arctic-fox)

Temperatures was around six degrees, and humidity very high.
I loved the color of moss, the shades of green were impressive and brilliant, and they caught my eyes. Moss is very thick in Iceland, and soft like a mattress. The feet sometimes sank into the mud below.

We walked six days, under rain and sunrays, weather changed quickly here, and when some atmospheric perturbations were coming from the Atlantic ocean, there weren't refugee, so when rain came, we waited the good weather into the tents.

Here huge water drops above the moss:
