I just came from a vacation out west in Idaho to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Glacier National Park. Iceland is a land that has always fascinated me with it's contrasts of fire and ice. I made the same comment to a Park Ranger last year at Yellowstone. But a trip to Iceland would be possibly the most dynamic place I could imagine seeing these stark and powerful differences in landscape.

I like how if I Google Earthed this, it would be invisible!

Awesome shot, and grats on the DD! I've been to Iceland twice now, and believe I've been through Saudarkrokur at least once. It's a beautiful country; you're picture really captures that.

This is absolutely fabulous. I love how the focus is the house, but the eye gets drawn across the plain to the mountains in the background. I'd want to just run across those fields and climb those mountains.
Having said that, now I need to find out if the home owner's association will allow a grass roof in my subdivision...

That is ridiculously beautiful. Congrats on the DD! And I have to admit, I read the title as "Sardaukar" and wondered what this had to do with Dune.

I felt awesome guessing this was in Iceland before reading the description or thinking about the name. :D I know because it looks a lot like the Faroe Islands, but is Iceland is a lot bigger.

Gorgeous shot! If you have a chance...why is there grass on the roof haha? Just curious, great shot, great capture and execution!

I think most northern dwelling people like in Europe and such grew grass on their roof because it kept the heat inside.

Holy crap, is that grass on the roof?
I'd live there. My first thought would be to grab a horse and ride it all the way to those mountains.

"There are no trees on Iceland"...that's a popular belief and still mostly true.
Basically, first settlers and their descendants cut and used wood for building and firewood and so on, until there were no more trees...the sheep, the winds and the volcanic ashes did the rest. Today, Iceland plants an incredible amount of trees all over the island (reforestation). The last time I checked the information, it was some 15-16 trees per a person (man, woman or a child), per year.
