Painted HIlls

These sandstone and clay badlands are colored by deeply embedded volcanic ash. They only cover about nine square miles, and it's a long drive to get there. But we enjoyed the silence of the morning as the hills showed off shades of orange, red and yellow.

Jorunder Mountain, Northern Iceland

This is Non-Iconic Iceland, with the arctic foliage showing off its fall colors. Further south, the still green shrubbery was full of crow berries, but here in the far north the golds, reds, oranges appear even more vibrant under a gray sky. Mile after mile was graced by this artist's palette of color
