At Arnarstapi, the coast broke into arches, sheltered inlets, and rocky ledges above clear blue water, while fishing boats rested close together in the small harbour. Stapafell rose above green fields and a pond scattered with white birds. Farther along the peninsula, Búðakirkja’s black timber and white windows stood against mountains and shifting clouds. The shoreline then invited a slower look: seals lay on seaweed at low tide, and a duck gathered its ducklings among the rocks. At Akranes, two white lighthouses marked the edge of the sea beneath sweeping clouds. Reykjavík brought the tall façade of Hallgrímskirkja, followed by a quieter finish beside flowing water, small cascades, summer flowers, and another family of ducks.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Iceland's West: From Bólstaðarhlíð to Snæfellsnes</title><link>https://stangrams.com/2026-iceland_day7/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://stangrams.com/2026-iceland_day7/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;White water and dark canyon walls opened the day, followed by a small church beneath a banded mountain and an empty road across open country. At Stykkishólmur, grassy paths led to the orange lighthouse on Súgandisey, with quiet islands offshore and boats moored in the harbour below. Farther along the coast, still water reflected the subdued light beneath snow-streaked ridges. Kirkjufell rose above waterfalls and green pasture, where pale and dark horses stood against the mountain. An aerial view of Svöðufoss brought together falling water, basalt columns, and the distant ice of Snæfellsjökull. The final images lingered over volcanic mounds, a slender radio mast, and purple lupines around Ingjaldshóll church as a narrow band of gold brightened the horizon.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
