No worries

Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

Had to camp in my car last night because of the rain, but this is what I got to wake up to. I have never felt solitude like this. Here's to making every Monday feel this way... #grateful

Somehow I acquire all these beautiful photo's originating from / taken in Iceland with very few opportunities to drop them on this blog: there are simply too many!

So without further ado, just a few out of what I have saved, let these photo's take you on a tour of Iceland and chill with the opportunities to soak in nature naturally.

But where to start?
If flying to Iceland you'll land on Iceland's southwestern promontory. Even here there are quite a few hotpots nearby, though they seem less susceptible to soaking naturally and photographing at the same time, just one of those things I suppose. Though, fellow soakers, what's not there yet, can still come.

Heading eastwards and a little inland you'll be able to find a riverine natural soak to be had at Reykjaladur valley with more (Hrunilaug and Secret Lagoon (the former though less open to an au naturel soak)) not far away.

Continuing eastwards there the Selljavallalaug pool, nowadays firmly on the tourist path:

Y'all asked for butts, we're giving ya butts...

Continue onwards and northwards and more inland are some more great places to lose the suit:

In the northeast are two hot springs located not too far from each other near the village of Húsavík:

Sis moved to Iceland, found her out in these wild lands living her best life… jeeze #hotsprings #for #lyfe

Think
Heading into the Westfjords, eldritch48 locates his soak as such but which of the many hot springs here is it?

Day 4 of our epic journey finds us in the #Westfjords, working hard! #Iceland #hotsprings #vacation #hotwater #summer #hotpool #wetnwild #beardsofinstagram #thinker

chelseakauai at Stjani:

I've learned that life speaks in invitations. Sometimes they are hot springs when you are tired and cold at 2 am in Iceland and sometimes their packaging is a bit less lovely. Either way the invitation is always there, in the hard days and the beautiful ones, asking us to #beboundless. To go a bit further and to always be expanding - in travels, in love, and in what we create in this world. Life speaks in invitations. So much of the magic happens, not because you're perfect, but because you choose to show up.✨

I'm so so so excited to be joining the Adobe team on some new projects coming up. I don't think I can convey how honored I am to be partnering with a company whose programs have been allowing my creativity to run free for the last 15 years. Go give the @lightroom account some love, they're sharing stories of photographers around the world and feel free to use #beBoundless to share your own work and meaning. And thank you to @missholldoll for finding this hotspring and sitting ever so still💛 #sponsored by and edited in @lightroom. #Iceland #hotsprings
