Look out for the pink hey bales around Iceland raising breast cancer awareness.

Have you seen these pink fields in Iceland? This Summer, we are wrapping hay bales with pink rolls to raise awareness to breast cancer. 1€ will go to the Icelandic Cancer Society for every wrap sold. #icelandicfarmanimals #charity #farmlife #farmlifebestlife #gvpics #iceland #icelandic #pink #hay #fields #haymaking #icelandsecret #icelandtravel #igersiceland #inspiredbyiceland #ísland #northiceland #skagafjordur #skagafjörður #sölvanes #visitskagafjordur #farmlifeiceland #authenticiceland

The two seasons of Iceland.

5 months separate these two pictures and we have to say we love both atmospheres! Sjávarborgarkirkja is a wooden church built in 1853, that you can find in Skagafjörður. To get in, you will find on the door the biggest key you have ever seen ? Little gem! #hotelvarmahlid #iceland #islandia #islande #northiceland #skagafjordur #skagafjörður #visitskagafjordur #gvpics #whyiceland #absoluteiceland #icelandsecret #iloveiceland #inspiredbyiceland #nwaiceland #igersiceland #everydayiceland #aroundiceland #alliceland #loves_iceland #naturelovers #landscape #summer #winter #seasons #icelandic #church #architecture #picoftheday

Opposites meet.

The Snæfellsnes peninsula has a lot of hidden gems. This abandoned farmhouse on the shore for example had a really special atmosphere. ? _______________________ A Snæfellsnes-félszigeten mindig nagyon különleges helyekre bukkanunk, mint például ez az elhagyatott farm a tengerparton. ?? #erlendistravel #iceland #gvpics #travelstoke #izland #farm #abandoned #snaefellsnes #blue #sky #great #love #mik #photooftheday #mutimitcsinalsz #utazas #cool #igershungary #igersiceland #instakozosseg
