Chance of northern lights again tonight over the UK (probably not as far south as London, but perhaps from Midlands northwards). Check the skies!

The weekend starts here!

The dog is recovering well from his minor operation :)

Here's another cute little Arctic fox cub, this time surrounded by wildflowers, not a nasty dead fish! Hornstrandir, Westfjords July 2021.

In July 2021 I finally visited Hornstrandir, the nature reserve at the top of the Westfjords of , only accessible by boat, with my husband. It is a superb place for scenery & hiking, full of adorable arctic foxes, like this little cub munching fish on the beach.

You don't need a drone to photograph the wonder of Rauðasandur, as there are excellent views from the scary hairpin road that you have to drive down to get there. One of these days I'll visit when it's sunny...

Another superb Westfjords beach, seen on my first trip there in Sept 2017. Not all of the beaches in have black sand!

The first time I visited Rauðasandur in NW I got the timing wrong & the tide was high. You really need to visit when the tide is low to see the extent of the swirls. As I drove up the switchbacks on my way out the tide finally turned. A little ICM from Sept 2017.

Social media is so strange. I get more followers on Instagram when I don't post anything for weeks... instagram.com/sophiecarrphot…

The weather in often leaves you wanting more...

This is a glimpse of Eystrahorn in the south-east, on a very stormy trip in Feb 2020 (possibly my favourite trip ever!).

Must get myself back to Rauðasandur in the Westfjords of - it is a very special place.

Photo from a gloomy (perfect!) day in July 2021.

Another view of Rauðasandur in the Westfjords of , from July 2021.

Today will mostly be spent shredding 20+ years' worth of bank statements, work stuff, medical letters, insurance docs, pension bumph etc. Ugh. So glad most correspondence is now paper-free!

The beaches in have to be seen to be believed.

This is Rauðisandur/Rauðasandur up in the Westfjords, shot with the DJI Air2S in July 2021.

Never expected to ever see northern lights from my home in very brightly lit London, but tonight that changed! Too many lights in the park at the end of the road, but also had drunk too much to drive to a darker place (oops). Saw an amazing shooting star too.

The weekend starts here!

It appears that the recent eruption in has come to an end. The land is still rising, so another one could start any minute.

Here's an image from May 2021 at the incredible Fagradalsfjall eruption. Happy memories!

I haven't had a chance to get down to for ages (day-job gets in the way!), so haven't seen the glorious flowers in Isabella Plantation yet (and it's probably too late now anyway), but here's one from a trip last May as the ferns were unfurling.
