Default Back! From Iceland
So this week I hit the big 30 and my girlfriend took me to Iceland as a birthday present to see the Northern Lights! - unfortunately the NL trip was cancelled due to bad weather. However, I did get to see some geysirs, fault lines, very cold places etc. If you fancy a quick browse, there are a few photos up here:

Veeeery nice.

It's actually an ambition of mine to see the Northern Lights, such a shame about the weather you had, but a sweet looking trip nontheless.

Grats on 30 btw, don't feel too bad about getting older, save that for 40, it's much worse

first off - happy birthday!
very nice set...looks like a great place to visit. I find the hot springs area intriguing with the mystic feel of the steam off the water...

Love the spiral staircase and the street shots of colorful houses. Must've been a magical trip overall. May your year be the same.

Happy Birthday to you! Such a shame you missed the Northern lights. They're on my bucket list... one day.

You shots from the trip are gorgeous. I just love the cool serenity of the church roof interior.
