LOOKS amazingly well taken care of for a boat that was beached about 30 year ago.
Love the surrounding country side.

The lines created by the land, water, hillside and the white streak in the clouds is pretty cool and then that perfectly placed, beautiful old ship...AWESOME! #10311041

Wonderful image. I love how the ship sits alone on a lonely stretch of beach with no other signs of humanity. #10312142

Thanks so much, folks! Working up these photos each day only makes me want to go back all the more!

Richard - so much of Iceland (outside of Reykjavik and the suburbs there) is vast, stunning emptiness. The tiny town (about 600 residents) of Patreksfjörður is barely discernible as a little splash of white specks, on the far shoreline almost at the very left edge of the image, at the base of the end of the mountain range. #10312889
