But it looks like actual summer is happening in Snæfellsnes.

S n æ f e l l s n e s Еду по этому полуострову и постоянно мысль: это может быть все что угодно, но не моя родная планета. Мы с Толкиеном едины – трава по 1.5 метра, она такая плотная что я лежу на ней, а ветер дует с такой силой, что перенесёт меня сам на другую ферму. #gvpics #visiticeland #triplookers

AND THE WINNER IS:

Tobias, aka @cores163, impressed us with his vivid black and white captures of Reykjavík’s street life, and his generally atmospheric shots of Iceland. So, he’ll be protecting his torso from the elements and other stuff like dust and direct sunlight, FOR FREE. We are TOO good to you guys, srsly. Congrats Tobias, and see you all next week for round four.
