This is the spray from a Humpback Whale. Curious if you see what I see in the shape

Another bucket list accomplished. Got to see Humpback whales up close today. Absolutely amazing.

Humpback Whales typically range from 40 to 60 feet (12–18 meters) long.
• Weight: They weigh up to 40 metric tons (around 44 short tons).
• Flippers: They possess the longest pectoral fins of any marine mammal, reaching up to one-third of their total body length.
• Markings: Each whale has a unique pigmentation and pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, acting like a human fingerprint for researchers.

So, this is not a joke. Went to a rock museum on the east end of the island. I use the term “Museum “, but it was in fact someone’s house. He is a passionate rock collector, and actually a very fascinating guy. He collects, cuts and polishes all the rocks and displays them behind his house for anyone to come see

The Red Chair

It serves as a playful public art installation and a symbolic reminder for drivers engaging in "slow travel" to pause, sit down, and absorb the vast, empty beauty of the Icelandic landscape.
