Summer in the South #1
The weather forecast was bad for the southern part of the country, wind and rain, yellow weather warning. It got Icelandic Times / Land & Saga excited and ready to go out and experience the weather. There is nothing more exciting for a photographer than dealing with the light, rain and wind, getting nice pictures… or not. For those who are not interested in photography, but just want to enjoy nature, the bad weather offers many possibilities, as long as you dress appropriately for the weather and the winds. There are fewer people traveling around and sightseeing, which gives each place a better experience, having the place to yourself. It is a good idea to go to vedur.is to monitor the weather, and umferdin.is to monitor traffic and road conditions, both websites are in English and Icelandic. Here comes the first part of a photo series of three, from our trip through Suðurland.

The winds where so strong in Reynisfjara that the tourists could hardly stand upright
