(This is not a very spectacular or special image. But this place and this view is very special to me and I wanted to share it with you all.
I think you really have to be there and se this in reality to fully appreciate it.)

I think one of my favourtie parts of the roundtrip on Iceland was the eastern bays "fjords". The landscape was so pure, colourful and beautiful. Chrystal clear water in the bays, high mountains, sometimes covered in snow or clouds, lush, green grass, and everywhere beautiful, magnificent waterfalls or streams.
Like being in a fairytale or a movie scene.
We kept playing the music from the "Lord of the rings" while driving in and out of the bays, around the mountains and we felt like we were the only ones on earth.
Truly special feelin - and landscape. So beautiful it took my breath away.

Besides from the Lord of the rings music a song that came in mind while seeing this was "Perfect day" by Lou Reed. Therefore the title.

Tech- saturation + 8, to get the colours right, auto levels and auto contrast, resized and cropped for TE, USM added frame.

very nice one Frida!

thanks for deciding to post it.
the colors are just great.

K.

Indeed a very beautiful landscape! Impressive and vast too; and it looks very peaceful. The colours are splendid and I like the dof. Well captured!

Thanks for sharing it. I gladly participate. :-)
I think what would make this picture better is somethink to eveluate the dimensions of the thinks seen here. But your note adds up a great deal here. That you where the only ones around for example gives a good additional info.
Onto the photo wonderful colors (this green and blue paired together), this shining light and the quality of the shot are very very good.
Share some more shots please. :-)

A very nice day indeed, very good work here, I like the blue water and the sky and the green grass, it is very refreshing to see

I love the northern countries, England, Ireland, the Scandinavian countries, Iceland, so, this shot is special !
And "riding with the Lord" would be a nice combination too. A great and peaceful landscape, so pure, so fresh, it's wonderful, Frida. Hey, where's my box with smileys ? ?
Okay, tomorrow...when you're still asleep...

Beautiful,Frida
it seems that there is a great and peaceful place,well show by you,with real colors,a candid shot,too,for me,...depth is fine in far,...nicely done,I like it.

It is beautiful, Frida (and makes a fine entry into the song theme, thanks ;-). The colors are great, the layered presentation is, too, and the sharpness and contrast are at an optimum. It might not have been available here, but what I always try to do in landscape shots in order to create a sense of depth is to include some foreground elements like rocks, trees etc. Well done.

Excellent point of view with three layers of elements, the bright green foreground, the lake and the mountains. The light is perfect and there is no presence of overexposition in your picture. I like how your frame the picture with the little brook starting from the left-bottom corner. A beautiful composition.

Nice icelandic landscape Frida. I like the sharpness, the clearness of the air and the vivid colours.

Maybe for you this is not a spectacular image, but for me it is. The landscape and the colours are amazing, pity there is nothing to have an apropriate scale, but this is just meter of personal taste.

Lucky you Frida to be around on such a fine day on Iceland. Crisp, nice landscape shot, and the fine light blue colour from the lake, very good and a fine diagonal add-on by the road there
