The Volcano, The Elf Rock And The Rainbow
On a clear day such as this one in late October the view from Dyrhólaey is astonishing.
In the distance is Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano which disrupted air traffic for a week in 2010.
The steep-sided mountain is Pétursey; good elves live on one side and evil elves are on the other. Be quiet and respectful near their home and they will leave you in peace.
And the rainbow? Just serendipity!

@mo@icelandphotos.co.uk it seems the elf rock just dropped out of the sky. I wonder how bizarre it must be to live there with this "rock" in your back garden. A wonderful composition and I learned a new wordv serendipity
