This week the #FriFotos theme is HIKES. I’m not what you would normally call an outdoorsy person, but in spite of that I find myself hiking a lot of the time and all over the world. Even though I may complain about them during the adventure, the amazing views are almost always worth the hiking efforts.
Wow! I’m glad to find another traveler who’s not much of a hiker. Views like these always make me wish I was one. :)
Hikes are OK, but it depends. But I keep doing them because they’re no better way to get to some of these places.
Beautiful photos of breathtaking landscapes! Love the one from Haway!
Just googled that, so Haway = Hawaii? :)
These photos are amazing – what is your go to camera lens for hiking?
Most of the photos were taken with my Nikon D5100, just the general 18-55 lens. A few of the photos here were taken on a Kodak point and shoot :)
Gotta love hikes that are well worth the views.
Hi Matt, Saw something you had posted about Iceland, but now I can’t find it again. We share a love of traveling. As a little girl, my dream and goal was to see the world, all of it. This next trip in Aug. and Sept. will put me over 100 countries, most in depth. So, my question to you is, where in northern Iceland would you go to see geothermal activity? I’ve read some about areas around Lake Myvatn, Krafla and Viti to the north and the
Askja region to the south. I want to drive as much as possible and keep the hiking to a minimum. Somewhere in these areas there were vivid warnings about breathing in too much sulfur. Any suggestions? I’d be most grateful for your insight if you’ve been to these areas. Thanks so much!

Connie, thanks for the question but I’m sadly not familiar with Iceland. I would post the question on Twitter to @WheresAndrew, he’s an Iceland guru
Out of the photos above I would chose Lake Matheson.
Amazing photos that makes you visit all those places.
Thanks, the hikes may have annoyed me at the time but I was so thankful for these sights
That picture of Antarctica is killer!
thanks!
