Strokkur is a geyser in the Haukadalur Valley, surrounded by other mud pools and fumaroles. It erupts every 6 to 10 minutes, soaring to heights of 50 to 60 feet in the air. I didn’t take any pictures because it wasn’t the prettiest sight. Mostly a ring of people huddled perhaps a bit too closely to the water jetting out of the ground. However, the valley offered some beautiful views, as you can see below.
It was a bit commercialized, particularly for Iceland. There is a large shopping center across the street and a hotel or two. It reminded me a bit of Yellowstone National Park. But not for the good reasons–just the crowded, commercialized version of nature.

Great post and fantastic photos! Can’t believe I haven’t been to Iceland yet, it’s such a beautiful country to explore and photograph! But living in Ireland, under near-constant rain cloud, we almost always opt for sunny destinations with much needed sunshine. Maybe one day… Thanks for sharing and safe travels 😀 Aiva
Hi Aiva, ohh! I love Ireland. What a wonderful place to call home. It makes sense that you want to spend your vacation in sunny destinations. We had quite a bit of sun during our trip to Iceland. Maybe if you visited during the summer you’d have some luck with the weather. Best of luck!
These look so good!!! 😍😍😍
thank you!
Beautiful photos. But I don’t understand the shoes. Can you explain? Thanks.
haha! yes, I can! I started this blog many years ago about sneakers. It’s morphed over time, shifting focus from sneakers and art to sneakers and travel. It’s a way for me to merge things I love. When I travel, I usually walk about 10 miles a day or more. That active lifestyle requires some good kicks, if you ask me. Thanks for stopping by!
