From The Dunes
Near sunset, and the low light is casting warm tones across the soft rocks and scree at the foot of the mountain.
Close cloud sits atop, catching the last rays of the sun. The quiet lagoon shelters from the worst of the sea and the yellowing grass forms a frame.
October, Kambhorn (650m/2133ft) and Brunnhorn (435m/1427ft) at Stokksnes peninsular in Hornafjörður, south-eastern #Iceland.

@mo OK, another anecdote for this place:
Sometime last century [sic] I put up camp with one of my groups under the slopes to the right of the mountain. It was a calm, cool and starry autumn night in late September, perfect to chill out after a 3 day hike from Snæfell to Lónsöræfi.
Just after midnight the calm was broken by some terrible cries from some of the tents; tens of thousands of wood mice swarmed around, and quite a few managed to squeeze through the zippers of the tents.

Wow! That must have been a rude awakening. I wonder why there would be so many in one place at one time, it isn't as if there are large quantities of food in the area. -
