One of The Best Sunsets of The Year, Iceland
During my 2 day trip to Iceland and at the end of the first day when I came back from the volcano hike, I went back to Grindavik where my Airbnb was. I wondered what to do with the remainder of the evening. I had previously bought a couple of beers. Einstök is the best Icelandic beer that I always buy when I visit. I decided to walk somewhere on the edge of Grindavik, sit down, sip some beer and enjoy the moment that I'm in Iceland.
While walking and trying to find a good place to sit down I saw that oh, it's a nice sunset today, maybe it get even better.

I found a nice place to sit. A place full of Icelandic moss so it was very soft. Sat down, opened a beer and enjoyed the calm evening.
Soon enough the sunset got insane, I didn't expect it to get so intensely colorful but it did.

The colors were so intense that I had to bring down the saturation in post-processing to make this picture look more real. I had never had to downgrade the colors on my sunset photos, this is the only time I have done it.

I couldn't have wished for a more perfect end to the day in Iceland. To sit in nature, enjoy a good beer and watch an epic sunset.


This place where I sat was pretty dangerous actually. I sat in the middle of the crack line in the ground. Those were very deep and full of water. The water was clear so I was able to see how deep those cracks were and it was a bit terrifying, those were at least 7 or 8 meters deep, probably deeper in places. I have a couple of pics taken with a phone. Depth is not really visible in these shots.
This place looks like that from a high-quality satellite photo. I have no idea how these cracks have formed, it's not a location where continental halving happens. I stayed there until the dark so I had to be careful to not fall into one when leaving.

What a splendor of beautiful sky color! I would have drunk many cans of beer watching having this scenery of sky... Nice captured..
I sat there about hour and a half, drank 2 glaas bottles of beer there 😅
Wow those are some intense colors and I am sure being there in person with it all around you is magnificent.
Oh it was amazing. Some next level relaxation was sitting there and staring into nature and sunset.
Crazy sunset.
Thanks for share and enjoy the trip.
Cheers from Mexico.
It is, cheers!
