Dynjandi Waterfall - A Magnificent Waterfall In The Westfjords
Our cruise ship went to Isafjordur, a little fishing town with no much to see other than visiting the nearby waterfalls. We rented a car and we drove one and a half hour to the Dynjandi waterfall, and driving along the edge of the fjords and then up over the mountains is itself a unique experience.
Dynjandi waterfall is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords, and it is somehow unique because is not only one but a collection of seven small falls, with the largest one and most spectacular at the top. We arrived to the parking and there were just few cars already there, so I took the time enjoying the path to the top and once there I saw the most amazing views of the Westfjords.

Cathedral Cove - A Magical Place Worth Visiting!
The Cathedral Cove is definitely one of those places that people have to visit once in a lifetime.
I always thought about watching the sunrise in this secluded beach, but it wasn't possible that time, the drive from Auckland to the visitor parking area near the beach was around 3 hours, I remember I woke up so early that day around 3:30am but still the drive during the night in a country I was visiting for first time was kind of a challenge. After arriving to the parking area, you will be walking another half an hour to get to the beach and the cave.
After all that effort, I must admit that it was so worth it that I will definitely do it again. I've never had been in a place like that, a magical place. In winter time the beach is empty, so I enjoyed the site all to myself.
The cave and beach were part in the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia", also was used as one of the locations in the music video for the song "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

Bald Cypresses Trees In The Everglades
In the winter, cypress trees will lose their leaves causing them to go 'bald', thus the name Bald Cypress Trees. They lose their leaves not due to the cold, but due to the lack of water available during the winter dry season.

Melted Snow Running Down The Mountains
Spring in Norway is quite intense due to the abundance of water (melting snow) in conjunction with plenty of sunlight and quickly rising temperatures, typically in May. You will see so many of these rivers running down the mountains.

Water Running Down The Valley From The Brikdal Glacier
The tour bus leaves you at the glacier visitor center, from there you need to walk from 45 minutes to 1 hour to see the face of the Briksdal glacier. The weather was overcast and it was raining, so it was really difficult to handle the camera under my umbrella.

Abandoned Hut In The Fjords
While I was cruising the fjords I saw this abandoned hut in the bushes really far in the mountains. I still find really hard to believe that someone could live in that uninhabited place.
