Iceland is such an incredible place, with the biggest concentration of breathtaking locations. It feels like you appear in the middle of the gallery of natural diversity. You can go any direction and you will find a totally different piece of environmental art. That's for sure one of the reasons why you can hear the sound of a shutter pretty much everywhere and in all seasons. On the other hand there is still a lot uncovered until you get to explore the island from the bird’s eye perspective. When you stand right next to the river, it seems to be a pretty ordinary stream with a flat surface, which totally changes when you get some elevation and discover the real masterpiece made by different depths of a river bottom. I got immediately obsessed by all of these stunning rivers and I knew that the only thing missing in this surreal painting is my awesome friend Vavra Hradilek with his creek boat.
