Farm Between Fjords - Stuck in Customs
The fjords of Northern Iceland weave in and out of the ocean, each one ending with a strong peninsula that juts out into the sea. Just on the inland side of these wide peninsulas, there are many lakes and little farms that sit nestled between little mountains and hillocks. They fit in so naturally that you almost don’t even notice them. I try to take extra care to notice every one. - Isafjordur, Iceland - Photo from #treyratcliff Trey Ratcliff at http://www.StuckInCustoms.com
