over the skálfándfljot

On our way back to Akureyri, as we drove on the bridge over the Skálfándfljot river (try saying that three times fast, or even slowly -- the accented As make an "ow" sound) from Goðafoss, Leah noticed the amazing light on the river. We parked and started shooting from the bridge.

What made the shoot exciting (and a little annoying) is that the bridge had only one lane, so we had to keep an eye out for cars, running off the bridge when one was approaching. Good thing we had distant views in both directions, as Icelanders drive like maniacs, no matter the road conditions LINK (skidding seems to add a little bit of excitement to their drives).

Once the light changed, we got back in the truck (well, a Suzuki Grand Vitara, which largely passes for a truck in these parts, but nothing like the tricked out larger 4WDs called Super Jeeps), and drove across the road back to Goðafoss.
