This the Beehive, a Yellowstone geyser near Old Faithful, that taught me the importance of staying upwind from erupting geysers. See all that water going upward in a really powerful gush? Lemme tell you, it must come down, too...and it does! Thankfully, the visitor center sold (slightly too short) women's jogging pants. Need I say more? :)

BTW, for the record, this was my summer vacation (okay, it was the end of May...).

The Strokkur Geyser in Iceland, which erupts every several minutes, to the delight of many tourists. I was quite pleased with having captured the initial bubble preceding the eruption, right at the point of breaking and the spout shooting up.



Note of warning: if you ever find yourself in position to watch a geyser, make sure you stand upwind... a trick some of the people in this picture are going to learn the hard way :)

Taken during a recent holiday in Iceland. Amazing landscapes. This was apparently one of the best fishing rivers in the country.

The awning over a terrace in Cyprus.... Yum!
