Weathering the Storm by Jos Buurmans Via Flickr: Driving in Iceland presents an ever-evolving adventure. The scenery transforms continually, matching the ongoing shifts in weather. During our journey along the East Iceland fjords, we encountered particularly adverse conditions, subjecting us to the unforgiving elements – gale force winds and unyielding rain were our constant companions. Worst of all (at least for a photographer), we gazed at a perpetually overcast sky, draped in a monotonous, oppressive gray. However, as they often say, the weather in Iceland is among the most fickle aspects of this land. In a fleeting, magical instant, the sky defied its gloom and breathed life into the rugged terrain, casting a radiant light upon the mountain. Only moments later, the sky once again veiled itself, and we pressed on towards the next clearing on our journey.
