The mountain of Kirkjufell is located on the north side of Iceland and has a height over 4,000 feet. It's known as one of Iceland’s most picturesque mountains with its perfect cone-like shape rising high above sea level. The surrounding area also contains many other stunning waterfalls such as Svartifoss or black falls that are hidden within another beautiful glacier crater named Seljalandsfoss which you can view from behind safely since it doesn't have any hazardous cliffs around it to fall off from
The mountain for Kirkjufell in Icelandic is recognized by being called "the Mountain" because this name just fits perfectly into describing how magnificent and majestic this stony little kingdom looks especially when standing so close.

I saw an amazing sunset over the ocean with boats in Riomaggiore, Italy. The sky was a mix of oranges and pinks as the dark blue-purple night started to fall upon us after such a hot day. There were so many different colors reflected off of the water from all those lights on board each boat out there that glittered like stars against our planet's atmosphere itself right beneath them.

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a mesmerizing sight that you can see in Iceland. They're caused by particles from solar flares colliding with molecules of oxygen and nitrogen high up above earth's atmosphere. I love this photo but it’s even more impressive in person!

The Vestrahorn Volcano in Iceland is one of the most dangerous volcanoes on earth because it's made up primarily by basaltic lava that can flow very rapidly. The last eruption was recorded around 1727 and since then there have been no other eruptions associated with this volcano, which makes scientists think that another eruption may be imminent due to its high level of activity.
The deadliest and closest active volcanic region lies deep within a freezing wilderness north-west of Vatnajokull glacier: Volcanos called Hekla or Haxi (“chalk peak”). Although these mountains are less than 2,000 years old they already hold names for their deadly ash clouds - such as ‘Fire Mountain', '

From far away, the Eiffel Tower looks like a thin metal structure. But there is more to it than meets the eye - its base contains over 7000 pieces of iron held together with 2 million rivets!
From afar, you might think that an impressive feat in architecture has been accomplished when looking at this skyscraper-like tower from below. However, if we look closer and study all 7300+ pieces of steel girders carefully fitted together by millions upon millions of nails or "rivets", one would wonder how such a marvel was even possible since each piece had to be put into place perfectly before they could bond them altogether!

When I visited the Chicago Bean, it was very early in the morning. The sun had only just begun to rise and there was only one other photographer there.
The sunrise over Lake Michigan at Millennium Park's Cloud Gate is an experience like no other; watching as warm hues begin to creep across a dark sky before gently pulling apart into bands of pink light that reach out towards you from behind one of Chicago's most iconic landmarks - this will be something you'll never forget! If you can drag yourself out of bed early enough to witness it.

When eating breakfast one day in Paris I looked out the window and had the perfect view of a cute little scooter just perfectly placed on one of the side streets of Paris. I love the serendipitous views in Paris and really look forward to going back soon to enjoy the food, photography and especially the wine.

Beach rocks are the most common type of rock found in West Palm Beach, Florida. On this morning I found a great beach rock with the sunrise in the background. It was a peaceful morning on the beach that I got to enjoy by myself.
