Iceland, not a photo trip, Summer holidays with my Icelandic friends, sneaked a Rolleicord and some Fp4 - I don't think anyone noticed

Those are astonishingly good. The composition of #2 and #5 are particularly outstanding.

Beautiful images Dave!  Is number 3 a geothermal power plant?

Yes a geothermal plant - it generates electricity and also pumps hot water direct to Reykavik. Most homes have hot water pumped directly to them for heating and hot water. 99% green energy in Iceland, with lots also made up from hydroelectric.
Cheap heating, everything else expensive!

Excellent stuff Dave. This place is on my bucket list.

Incidentally, how do you achieve that dark, "matte" look to what must be wet rocks in the middle of the rivers / waterfalls?  Is it the actual exposure you use in-camera, how you scan the film or other post-processing technique?

Unless, like me, you think FP4 is magical. :)
