The Charles rages in the spring. Rushing through Medway over the falls off Village Street. I got some photos a couple of weeks ago, but to get the angle I wanted, I needed to get in the river. Long story short, I now own chest-high waders. This morning I was in the Charles, while my wife watched and am sure judged my choices, camera in hand finding that right spot. All scouting for one more session with this subject, stay tuned.

The Charles River trickles through the smaller towns, all the attention is towards the Boston end, but there are beautiful parts all over. This one is a seldom-seen spot. Walking distance from my house in Medway on the Franklin line. The map shows the Charles River Reservoir behind the falls at the dam.

For the majority of the trip, the weather here in Iceland has been great, It’s winter, but it has been bearable. I like the cold over heat anyway, so jacket, gloves now and then, nothing a New Englander is not used to. Today the storm showed up, and other than a couple stops, it was a driving day. Now we have the best driver on the Island in the Icelandic Transporter (think Jason Statham), Aron, and his beast of a truck, so we were fine. It is everyone else though. Cars off the road, trucks stuck on Mountains so traffic can’t, tourists white-knuckling the steering wheel with the hazards on doing 2mph on one-lane roads. Add in insane wind, white-out snow drifting across the road, and it is Iceland, it made for an adventurous drive to Reykjavik. Check out below how the wind jus wipes out Seljalandsfoss.

A busy day, started in Thingvellir National Park walking along with the rifting Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates, had an amazing mashed fish dish for lunch, next to a mountain, in a town, I need to find the name of both. Photographed incredible volcanic craters with the drone. Stopped at a Black Church in Búðakirkja, then ending the day at Kirkjufell, Church Moutain, also known as Arrowhead Mountain in Game of Thrones, which I never watched, but it is seen in one of my favorite movies, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I did my part along with the group I am with to help it keep the title of Most Photographed Mountain in Iceland.

I realize my days might be too busy if a day that felt slow was: a confirmation session at the studio, an engagement session at Hopedale Pond, a failed trip to Boston for a special shoot that is delayed til next month due to horrible traffic (anyone else sit on 90 for far too long today?), a birthday party for Dan and a quick stop at the park… like I said slow day.
