Þingvellir – Autumn Colours
At Þingvellir the Icelandic parliament, the Alþingi, was established in 930 and held until late 18th century. It is also the site of a rift valley, where the European and American continental shelves drift apart; more at Wikipedia
Its historical and geological importance make it a very popular tourist attraction.
By the end of September though the tourists are gone and one can witness a fantastic display of vibrant autumn colours. On this crisp and totally calm day I enjoyed the view of the distant, snow-topped mountains and the sounds of the birds; I even spotted an owl.
