Post by: Rajan Parrikar on June 28, 2023, 08:08:16 am: Mark, Arlen, & Francois - thank you very much.

Over 10 years I have made multiple visits to this church but only a couple of weeks ago did I acquire something worthwhile to publish.

Leszek,

A summer's night in the Icelandic countryside is an experience to be cherished. If the horizon is clear with the sun hovering just above it, the landscape turns ethereal with the honeyed light. Combine that with the solitude and the quietude, and those moments stay with you. The 4 weeks or so before & after June 21 are the best.

Thank you kindly. I've experienced a few lovely places,... ( Hawaii, Daintree Rainforest, Lake Superior, Northern Ontario),.. but, well Iceland might seem to me the next place to hope to visit.

Rajan,

Northeastern Canada (Baffin Island etc) also has some of the most spectacular landscape on the planet.
