Love how that waterfall snakes it’s way down. All are beautiful though. 😊
People build their houses in the middle of nowhere, next to these amazing waterfalls. They live by the sights and sounds of these falls. Smart people.
Epic scenery! Every photo is a postcard!
Awww, you are a lovely friend my friend <3
It looks amazing Cindy, enjoy your time in this magical place 🙂💖 xxx
Takk fyrir <3
I had no idea of the scenic beauty of this place – thank you for sharing it.
The place is gobbsmacking and I am very happy you enjoyed. Cheers <3
I grew up in a village of that size. It is pretty but also very small and one gets isolated rather fast. So much of what we take for granted, is out of reach or too far away. Kulture, movies, theater, take out food, restaurants, hospitals and doctors. It’s a different kind of living.
I can only imagine and I remember some of your stories. Seydisfjurdur must be an entirely different world in the winter. <3
Yep 🙂
a real teaser Cindy; the family will be there in a month so this whets the appetite..
Ohhhh, you are in for such treat! <3
How glorious! Oh the memories Cindy of when we once lived up the road from here at Reyðarfjörður. We’d drive down that winding road to Seydisfjordur for my Twining’s Earl Grey teabags as the gas station there was the only place selling them.
Oh my God!!! What a truly small world! What stories you must have and what beauty you grew up in! The wildlife around you must have thrilled you to no end. We saw orca pods and I got one jumping! <3
How fabulous Cindy – am very much looking forward to seeing and reading more of your travels through Iceland!
<3 <3 <3
Seydisfjordur, with 665 people, has so much to offer! Thank you for sharing these beautiful landscape photos.
Thank you for your kind appreciation.
So very beautiful. I can’t imagine a town that small.
So many houses are built by these amazing waterfalls. The sounds must just be incredible <3
Talk about pristine beauty!! TY, Cindy! Sending all the best to you!
Lots of Canadians visiting here too. Hugs to you Resa <3
I love Iceland and its scenery. Thanks for these wonderful photos. 🙂
Thank you for appreciating this amazing place <3
I would love to live there! Beautiful town, waterfalls, mountains and lakes!
I would too. The world untouched by modern advancement.
The landscape is incredible, isn’t it, Cindy? Have a wonderful time 🙂 🙂
Yes. Far north and far south, the world shows us how beautiful it was built to be.
That is a place I’d like to see.
Please, do!
Going to Iceland is one of my most favorite recent trips. Enjoy the beauty, the waterfalls, the Icelandic horses and on and on.
Happy you experienced this amazing place <3
Superb photos. Unique landscapes.
Ahhh, thank you so much & happy you enjoyed <3
What a gorgeous place!
Yes & cheers to you from Iceland~

We were there about two months ago – awesome views!
You were here for the warmer weather. Lucky you!
Stunning. Epic. So real!! ❤️ Thank you for sharing Cindy. I’m fully expecting you to go through the north west passage to California any day now!
Thanks sweet Val. If the passage can be found, I will travel there <3
Thank you, Cindy, for more beautiful photographs!

Your kindness defines you Charles. Thank you.
Ah, beautiful. It could almost be Scotland…
Laughing……We have just left gorgeous Scotland <3
Beautiful, beautiful Iceland! Gorgeous shots, Cindy. As usual. And now you made me want to go there again…
I think we are going again next year………The travel bug thankfully has no cure!
😎
Absolutely STUNNING landscapes! I’ve GOTTO go.
Just made a note on my shortlist – thanks Cindy!
Oh good! You will be so happy you moved Iceland up your list and you will not want to leave.
Beautiful landscape pictures! It must be spectacular feeling to actually be there.
Vast, unspoiled vistas are sadly rare now in our world <3
The waterfall photo is absolutely stunning Cindy, a beautiful shot, Well done….
Thank you so much Ivor & cheers to you!
Wow! Absolutely stunning! 😻👍🏻
Thank you Linda, and yep, everywhere in Iceland is a WOW place!
Wow. What stunning beauty. Great photos, Cindy.
Mille grazie <3

Leslie
I am happy for them <3

Hugs & cheers back to you <3
The 665 people who live in the town of Seydisfjordur are very lucky. The view is absolutely beautiful!
They are so protected from the inanity of the rest of the world which makes them lucky indeed.
Lucky you! It looks like you had brilliant sunshine, quite rare for Iceland. Great photos, Cindy!
Sunshine in Iceland but not in the Hebrides or the Shetlands unfortunately. But everything is still so beautiful. Clouds have their own beauty.
Breathtaking pictures! Thanks for showing us the beauty of Iceland Cindy. Life must be hard there in winter. Do the waterfalls freeze?
Yes, winter here is extremely harsh and can be dangerous. I would imagine some of the falls freeze.
Ultimate serine place! I don’t think you need internet here. Of course, the camera is a must! Enjoy!
My cameras are getting tired!!
That means it’s going to rain of great landscapes here on WordPress! 😍😃✌️
Laughing…….thank you & cheers to you!
✌️🙏🥂
Gorgeous! xo
Alison
Yes, indeed. Love your Japan photos!
Wonderful scenery.
Merci beaucoup mon ami.
This is a beautiful introduction to one of the countries that is high up on my itinerary.
Thanks so much & you will be very happy when you visit here.
What an amazing place ! Seems to be a fantasy island. 🙂
Fantasy Island is an excellent descriptor of Iceland~
So beautiful. 🙂 Epic !
Thank you! Epic is the perfect adjective for Iceland.
Iceland is one big nature reserve, I love it, so amazingly beautiful!
Yes, it is an unspoiled wonderland!
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen, Chapeau!
Vielen dank Ernst und Frohe Wochenende!
Stunning photos – the landscape must be even more stunning in person!
Takk fyrir! It is breathlessly beautiful.
Wow, what an amazing place!
It truly is. Uncrowded forever! Rush hour is encountering another vehicle on a road.
Sounds perfect 😁
Yes, it is incredible!
Lovely photos – they give a visual meaning to the word ‘remote’
Oh, visual remoteness. Lovely concept!
Such clear light, beautifully employed
Much appreciated. Thank you Derrick!
Fabulous photos, Cindy. I find it interesting that from this beauty and type of landscape the world’s most gender equal country has arisen. Is it the majestic and awesome nature of the land which makes humans realise that to survive and thrive they must cooperate as equals?
Yes, I think you are on to something. Winter requires equal effort from men and women to survive. Calories are critically important and people talk about it. There is also the influence of vast spaces, with limited humans. Scandanavian countries in general seem quite progressive and advanced to me which is one of the reasons I like to visit them.
And why I would like to visit them, too. Oh, and for the beautiful scenery!
<3 <3
Such beautiful pictures, Cindy! 🙂
I am honored. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Picturesque! A place where you can enjoy the sound of water day and night. 💖💚
Yes, and it is immensely calming!
Oh Cindy, it is so stunning. With my cats, and a steady supply of books there is all the solitude one could hope for, if only it were not so cold… Thank you Cindy, a real treat.
Happy you enjoyed my friend, and kiss your kitties for me. I miss Herbert our cat <3
I do understand. Colette prefers rubbing noses to kisses but Simone is willing to give a quick kiss, occasionally. <3
Well, I don’t mean to boast, but Herbert is a kissing cat……
Well I believe you should boast. However, I must admit that I treasure Colette’s nose rubs. They are as unique as she is. <3
