Fifty shades of green... Our trip through Iceland, day 18: The helicopter ride over Fragradalsfjall volcano (video and photo) and sea glass.

Always special when you can see the landscape from the air. I did a helicopter ride once. The advantage is that you fly quite low, much lower than with an airplane.
Beautiful, unique images. Too bad you were a bit uncomfortable, but the fuel costs a lot of money, isn't it? ?

@enigma yes, of course the fuel is expensive, and so is a helicopter, but this was very expensive (380 euro for 45 minutes). Luckily, we can afford it, but it was a one-off promotion 😁

I once flew over Diksmuide and the Belgian coast in a helicopter. I don't think it even took that long.
Already flown in such a sports plane. Much less comfortable. (Shakes and shakes and the pilot wanted some stunts (loops and stuff) - just to make you sick. Landing is also quite an undertaking.)

Wow. very impressive, I have never flown in a helicopter myself, I did go to watch a helicopter take off during filming I worked for.

@Mevrouw Stip. I can recommend such a flight, if your wallet is thick enough. The takeoff gives quite a wind, I understand, that didn't bother me now, luckily!

I think this is so cool to experience. With a helicopter. Cool photos!

@Kinderworkshops Petra It was cool! Only very short, and very crammed up.

What an experience: finding a trip by helicopter, yes, sea glass, is knowing where to look, it seems. It's not natural on every beach. Very nice pieces! The green blue could be from old coca cola bottles.

@The Creative Bumblebea I'm happy with it!!

Awesome!

@roxana_ac Thanks!

WOW I am speechless. Had crawled on your lap had made me super light so you didn't even notice. You wrote about your face, I thought, huh, no face seen. I scroll up again. suddenly a lot of beautiful photos come into view. Well, if you hadn't made that comment, I might not have even seen them. Pfffff 😍😍😍

@marijke haha, it might be a bit much for Yoors 😉. But you were in my cellphone, that's almost the same thing 🙃
