Wood Crane's Bill (Geranium sylvaticum) 22:00:07 GMT, June 20, 2010
A sun dog above and to the left of the volcanic cone Vindbelgjarfjall. To me this scene epitomized the utter peacefulness of the moment. Look closely and you'll see dozens of waterfowl on the lake, including swans and probably some northern divers, what North Americans call loons. 22:08:26 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
I don't know whether this was a year-round residence, a summer home, a guest house for travelers, or what. It certainly occupies prime real estate on the lake shore, though. Wisely it faces east, at 90 degrees to the setting/rising sun of mid-summer at this high latitude. 22:07:31 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
Lichen and wildflowers. Look carefully and you'll see than one small yellow wildflower has gained a root-hold on top of this rocky outcrop. 21:57:09 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
Can you see the faint sun dog along the left of the shot? Actually it looks like part of a halo around the sun. 22:05:35 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland

Rhubarb seed heads in the foreground. 21:56:54 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
Bright lichen in the golden light of the near solstice sunset. I'm curious. Are there any mycologists out there that can answer my question. Is the white lichen that is interspersed with the orange lichen living, or is it just a dead, bleached out form of the orange lichen? Or maybe, are the white and the orange patches just different stages of the life cycle of the same symbiont? 21:57:22 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
Unidentified wildflower. The leaves resemble a cranes-bill or geranium, but the flowers are more like a campion. 21:58:47 GMT, June 20, 2010, Mývatn, Iceland
