The Laki craters or Laka gígar are in south Iceland, south of Langisjór and west of the biggest glacier in Iceland, Vatnajökull.

It is truly a spectacular place to visit, with craters, strange mountains, lakes, and colours one would think impossible in nature.
In June I drove there with my family and a friend, we stayed for one night and spent the evening exploring the crater area, driving along dirt and gravel roads through the lava fields and up hills with vast views in every direction. The day after we took the eastern route back, a less travelled road and much harder. The road was washed out in a couple of places but nothing could stop the Land Rover Defender, he chugged along slowly but surely, great vehicles.
The Laki craters area is a National Park and has a dedicated camping spot in Bláfell. The official website is here.

I was happy to see that my photo from Gordon´s Beach ended up on the front page of the Outdoor Photographer website. I´ve been an avid reader of this fine publication for some time and enjoy the website, check it out Outdoorphotographer.com

Here is the original photograph, shot on the way home from canoeing on the San Juan River

My first assignment in Iceland was to photograph a play by the theater group LabLoki, called Ufsagrýlur or Gargoyles. It´s a great play by an Icelandic writer called Sjón and performed at the Hafnarfjarðarleikhúsið.

The poster and program was designed by me and my friends Thorri and Linda at Hringbrot.

Check out the slideshow with images from the preparation to the performance. Gargoyles|Ufsagrýlur

“Light at dusk” could be the English  translation of the title of this book “Birtan í Húminu”. A book of poems by Canadian poets.
It was published by The Reykjavik International Literary Festival and features poets that have won the Griffin Poetry Prize, among them A.F. Moritz, C.D. Wright and Michael Ondaatje.
I had the honour of having one of my Photos on the cover.

Here is the original photo, it is from a fall trip to Port Renfrew.

Did an assignment for PNR shooting the RCMP Musical Ride last weekend. It was a fun event with sky divers, Scottish Pipers and of course the RCMP Musical Ride. Great to see the RCMP in their distinctive red uniforms and the Musical Ride was pretty amazing.

I often wondered how they managed not to injure themselves – a big group flying about on big horses with spears in their hands sounds like a recipe for disaster but the Musical Riders pulled it off gracefully and in style. Great show.

Me and Greg Miller went to Whistler to cover Chill on the Hill, for BCoutside.com – Had a fun time and some good shots. Look for a story on it on BCoutside.com tomorrow.
On the way back we got some crazy BC weather, went from 38 degrees in Whistler to a mixture of Sun, rain and strong winds when arriving on Vancouver Island. Made for a pretty sunset.

Summer is sweet, busy but sweet. I have done some interesting assignments this summer but all of them are still in post production, have not yet been published or used. So I cant either.
I moved out to the country last month, 30km from Victoria to the beautiful Metchosin. Enjoying it thoroughly and doing a lot of personal stuff.
BCoutside is busy as always check it out for some fresh stories and photography, lot of new stuff will be there in the next couple of weeks.
I have begun Twittering, follow me on Twitter if you Tweet, it´s fun. http://twitter.com/SnorriGunnarsso
