Thanks you, David and Francois.
Francois - for a very brief period, say 4-6 days, the peak Autumn colour here is a feast for the eyes. Not all regions peak at the same time. Even in the most bleak areas of the Northern Highlands there are patches of outrageous colour. Last week my friend Kristinn Ingi Pétursson made a quick solo run into the Northern Highlands. Unfortunately I had to hurry back to Reykjavķk to avoid an imminent storm. A couple of his smartphone images are attached below.
