Volcano scouting
First day in Iceland I went from the airport straight to the car rental and then drove for 2 hours to Eyjafjallajökull. While driving I kept looking in the distance as the cloud of ash should have poped up in the horizon any second. It never did. The clouds and the ash around it made it seem like just mist. SO when I got there I knew I arrived from the surroundings. Streets covered in wind blown ash, deserted little villages and most of all the strange sound that could be heard up un the mountain. I think because of this the feeling was much more spectacular. Later on, as the sun began to set and wind to settleI was able to see the huge cloud of ash rising on top of the mountaintop and clouds. After my tour of the mountain on walked roads I decided do take a night drive on the wild and closed part that was the back side of the volcano. I asked around and recieved a lot of mixed info so at one point I just followed a huge 4×4 that was going off road and the only possible destination was the one I was looking for. Unfortunately the volcano was quiet that night. No lava was coming out, just ash. I waited there until 2.00 AM and returned on the main road.

One last paradise corner (1)
A trecut ceva timp de la ultimul post de pe blog. Pe de o parte pentru ca nu am avut timp, pe de alta, pentru ca nu am avut ce. Ceva lucruri s-au intamplat, atat profesional cat si mici satisfactii personale, cum ar fi asta 
. Dar, pana la urma m-am intors, cu ceva fotografii, unele mai bune, altele mai putin bune. Locatiile nu le voi mai dezvalui incepand de azi. Romanul avand prostul obicei sa distruga tot ce e frumos, pentru ca deh, asa e romanul, nu il duce nici mintea si nici suflet nu prea are. Asa se face ca o gramada de locuri superbe s-au transformat peste noapte in cuiburi de manelisti si cocalari fara pic de respect pentru natura si pentru farmecul unui loc. Un fenomen trist si din pacate de neorpit in tara in care nimeni nu face nimic, asa ca bucurati-va de ce a mai ramas frumos si nemanjit.
Enjoy !
