Into the Mystic of Iceland

Posted on by

“We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic”   –

 Lyrics to one of my favorite Van Morrison songs, “Into the Mystic”

I just couldn’t resist including it with the post…listen along and view my photos into the mystic….

There is no place more mystical than Iceland. Come take a look for yourself and let me know if you agree that there is no place quite like it.  The mystical land of fire and ice.

There is nothing more mystic than a waterfall dropping bursts of sparkling diamonds down to the earth…

Or the remains of a rainbow left delicately in the air..

Or the falling glacial tongues that remind us of the history of the earth and the power of mother nature…

Or the mystical vapors of the earth funneling out of the ground and rising into the darkened air…

Lets your mind and imagination wonder where on earth you are going…

Until you remember….into the mystic.

  2. Sas – Cardiff, UK – I'm vegan. I love to travel. I challenge myself to visit at least one new place and try at least one new activity every year. When I'm not writing, I like to ski, rock climb, keep fit and bodyboard.

  4. restlessjo – Hi! I’m Jo! Johanna when I’m feeling posh, Jan to my Dad, and Joasiu to my Polish family. A bit of a mix-up, that’s me. The one constant, however, is my restless nature. I love to travel and to explore our world. It doesn’t have to be the big wide world. I can be ridiculously happy not too far from home, so long as I’m seeking new horizons. Of course I have a wish list, and it was to help me fulfil my dreams that I started to write travel guides for a venture called Simonseeks. I’d always kept a travel diary, and it was hugely satisfying to share my experiences and to make new friends who shared my passion for travel. Alas, Simonseeks hit a few troubles, but I still find myself writing about my travels. I’ve become addicted. I’d love to share them, and to make more friends. So, it has to be a blog- right? Or do I mean- write?

      Perhaps you can go this summer? The season for good weather is so short….unless you want dark and cold! 🙂

  15. Eliz@MirthandMotivation – Growing up on three continents has exposed me to people/places that are culturally rich and varied. My interests in learning, teaching and traveling continue to inform my work as a training specialist. My family, friends, faith and colleagues have been instrumental in my growth; therefore, as I learn, develop and share new skills, I remember with gratitude, how important it is support others.

      Yes it is amazing! It is expensive though given its isolation and size. I did not try anything unique as I don’t eat red meat and lots of other unusual things. I heard about the strange items and decided to let others give it a whirl! The rotted shark sounded the worst!
