good early morning light

Lake Mývatn in the morning, Vindbelgjarfjall in the distance. What a difference a day makes!

I caught this as we were driving across the road for breakfast at the Cowshed Cafe. Two things need to be explained here. First, we took breakfast in the Cowshed Cafe (part of the Vogarfjós guesthouse, and included with the room). The cafe is literally in the cowshed, so the place smells of cow, and a window separates the cafe from the cows, so you can watch them being milked or just milling in their stalls. The smell wasn't too overwhelming, thankfully.

Second, since we were so far north, the sun never traversed directly overhead, so we always had good, angular light (when the sun was out, that is), so it always looked like early morning or light afternoon as far as the light is concerned.

Oh, and they're dairy cows. I got to drink milk drawn from the cow that morning, unpasteurized, but chilled. It was udderly delicious (but you saw that coming).
