travel starts with photography

On the way back to Reykjavik, Chen Xing also went to Skogafoss. This waterfall is very large in Iceland, with a width of about 25 meters and a height of about 60 meters. For someone who has seen a great waterfall, it is enough to shock him.

The main thing is that there is a relatively flat gravel beach under the waterfall. Visitors can go directly to the bottom of the waterfall and listen to the sound of the waterfall's rumbling water at close range. Don't look at the water under your feet. You are still on the shore, but when you finish taking pictures If you walk back, you will find that your body is already soaked.

Because the water vapor is too large, it looks like a fairy air, but people will be covered with water droplets in such an environment for about 1 minute, and it will be uncomfortable to get wet in such a winter... ...but that didn't stop some tourists from going over and standing underneath to take pictures.

Because the picture taken this way is so beautiful.

The background is a waterfall that is too wide to see how big it is. When it falls, there are countless splashes. The lower right corner is the land of the gravel beach.But if it is just shot like this, it is actually quite ordinary, and the picture is monotonous, as if something is missing.

However, as long as there is a person standing on the gravel beach in the lower right corner, or a dog or a cat, no matter what kind of creature it is, there will be a sense of the vastness of nature and the smallness of the characters, which makes the photo complete in one click up.

So there are a lot of people taking pictures like this. If you come to Skogafoss in the peak tourist season, you may have to queue up like domestic attractions.

A successful and connotative online celebrity check-in point.

Few people came to this place today, and the venue was empty, so Chen Xing hurried over to take a few photos.

There is also a very steep ladder next to the waterfall to go up, but the temperature is too low, the ladder up is too dangerous to freeze, so no one wants to go even if you can see a better view at the top, if you really fall That's no joke.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Reykjavik after visiting this route, which was about the same time as Chen Xing expected.

Deng Jun first drove the car to the car rental shop and returned it. He was worried that Chen Xing would not know the way, so he sent Chen Xing back to the hotel first.

In fact, Chen Xing kind of wanted to be surrounded by a girl, even sister Jiaqian.

Even though Sister Jiaqian is married now, she is also much older than Chen Xing, but it's very interesting to chat, she has the feeling of being the heroine of an idol drama in the early years, no matter what, she is better than a man.

Chen Xing sighed.

The sky is a little bright now, and the street lamps are shining on the snow on the ground, making the white snow become the same light yellow color as the lamps, like a thick layer of carpet on the ground.

If you walk fast, you will make a rustling sound, like shaking a maraca rhythmically. If you walk slower, it will make a creaking sound like two inferior new leather shoes rubbing against each other. interesting.

But if you want to find this kind of fun, you have to find places where few people walk. The snow in the places where most people walk on the street has been trampled and turned into old snow, which is black and slippery mixed with dust.If you want to walk on this kind of ground, you are not allowed to be distracted. You can't tell when you will fall.

Already able to see the hotel, Chen Xing said to Deng Jun, "Thank you for taking me back."

"Hey, it's okay. They are all Chinese. That's what I should do. Then I'll go back first. By the way, there is one more thing. Tonight we have a party in the school, and all the people who come are foreign students from various countries. Like, can you come?"

"No, I want to wander around by myself."

If it was an activity made by the whole school together, Chen Xing would still go and see it, but today is the eve of Halloween, who would want to go to the indoor party?
"Alright then, goodbye."

Chen Xing watched Deng Jun leave before continuing to walk towards the hotel. When he passed by a square, there were a lot of hot food sold here, and the whole square was filled with a layer of white mist. At this time, Chen Xing also felt a little hungry , went in and had something to eat.

The serious food in Iceland is the same as in Norway, the taste is average, the key is that the presentation here is not as good as Norway.

But the variety of snacks is more than that of Norway. At least in this square, Chen Xing saw snacks from many countries, even Chinese Xiaolongbao. The steamer is made of bamboo, which looks very authentic, but the owner is from Iceland.

When leaving the square, Chen Xing was holding a piece of hot dog.

Hot dogs are also something that Chen Xing likes to eat very much in Europe. You can add any food to the bread. There is even a salted fish in Iceland. The one that Chen Xing eats is more ordinary, with ham wrapped in it. ham sausage.

Ham and ham sausage are not the same thing. Wrapped together with lettuce and meat sauce, the taste is no worse than a steak worth tens of euros.

Leaving this steaming food court, there is a gym opposite. At this time, a young girl who just worked out came out. She was wearing yoga clothes and a long down jacket, and she seemed to be out of her body. White air is coming out of his body one after another, which is very interesting to watch.

Chen Xing frantically took out his camera to take a picture, and finally managed to take a picture of her in front of a colorful steeple house.

Not bad, not bad, a beautiful sports photo.

The photos of sports-style works are not only those of people in sports, such as those who prepare before sports, walk and rest after sports, and sit on chairs drinking water after playing basketball. All of these can be classified as sports-style works.

The photo Chen Xing took now is very interesting, the whiteness on his body can only be seen in this cold winter.

Keep going.

There was a snow-covered car parked on the side of the road. It was impossible to tell what color it was originally. Seeing that he was covered in snow like this, he had not moved his position for at least three or four days. Someone was in the rearview mirror of the car. There is a very small snowman piled on it, which is so lifelike that it can be seen that the workmanship is good.

Outside the coffee shop, there were seats that had not been cleaned up, and a layer of snow was also piled up, covering them in white. At the door of a shop that could not be identified, the Christmas tree prepared in advance fell down, and the pressed position triggered a pumpkin head. As a result, the empty eyes of the pumpkin head shone brightly, and it kept laughing.

It was this thing that kept Chen Xing from sleeping well all night.

The two were struggling to straighten the Christmas tree that fell down for some reason, so hard that passers-by took a look and left.

Instead, Chen Xing put down the camera and went over to help.

One of them said thank you, Chen Xing nodded and did not reply, and cooperated with these two people to help the Christmas tree up, and then checked the big flower pot that contained the tree, it seemed that there was no damage, just a little scratched Should have no effect.

"Thank you, friend, you should be a guest staying in this hotel, right?" the owner asked Chen Xing with a smile.

He had seen Chen Xing coming in and out of the hotel next door several times in the past two days, so he recognized him immediately.

"Sorry for my poor Icelandic, what did you say?"

The boss just repeated it once.

People who can live in the Nordic capital countries have a good quality education. The locals have to accept bilingual and even multilingual studies from an early age. If people from other places do not have great skills, they will not be allowed to live in the capital.

Therefore, even if a person does not speak Icelandic or Swedish, as long as they do not run around in the capital of the country, it is no problem to communicate with them in English.

After chatting casually, Chen Xing returned to the hotel.

It’s been a long time since I wrote a travel note on Honeycomb. The scenery I saw today is very good, and some things I encountered are also very suitable for writing, so I sent a travel note with rare code words.

The cooperation between him and Honeycomb is mainly in the column. There is no hard requirement for travel notes, as long as they are not published on other Internet cultural and tourism websites, so Chen Xing has always been very Buddhist in updating travel notes.

However, as a master of both writing and photography, Chen Xing also has a lot of loyal fans in the honeycomb, and hundreds of viewers came in a short period of time.

No way, the flow rate of the honeycomb is so low.

None of the websites Chen Xing currently uses has high traffic, and even Bizhan is not considered a mainstream video website.

If his videos are more streamlined, or divided into 1-minute videos and posted on Douyin in multiple segments, then Chen Xing's Douyin followers must now exceed 2000 million.And his attention on Biz.com so far is only more than 200 million.

Compared with the traffic of the beep station, the honeycomb's traffic is lower, and his fans are only tens of thousands so far.

This phenomenon is actually related to the planning of this website.

Anyone who often reads the column on this app should know that the column and travel notes on this website are not the product of a system.

The travelers in the column are all invited by honeycombs one by one. They may only post columns and never write travel notes, so I often see those familiar column masters. Hundreds.

Even these column bosses don't even have a honeycomb account, and they can't find their home if they want to pay attention.

As soon as the travel notes are published, people will read them immediately, and there will be more than [-] or even [-] readings in a day. This is considered a relatively top-level traveler in Honeycomb, and this is because Chen Xing updates more casually. .

While Chen Xing was creating his travel notes, there were always voices coming from downstairs, but he still insisted on poking his head to read after finishing writing and publishing it.

Downstairs was originally a bar street. Every night, Icelanders visit one bar after another, which is very lively.But today is more lively, today is Friday, those who go to work will have a rest tomorrow, and even some companies with less tiring work will have a rest for three days.

So Icelanders today are really idle.

The bar opened very early today, and some early guests had already gone in for a round of drinks, and now they heard the commotion on the street outside and rushed out with glasses to watch the commotion.

On the street is a parade.

Foreigners really like to parade. They parade when they encounter good things, and parade when they encounter bad things. Now most of the parades on the street are monster characters of cosplay. When Chen Xing just opened the window to watch the excitement, he saw a A spider two or three stories high was walking slowly.

Chen Xing lived on the third floor, and he happened to see a spider's foot passing through the window, which startled him.

From below, you can see that this spider is being transported by a car, and the legs are just for show, but you can't see the car below from Chen Xing's position, so it looks a bit scary... He hates this kind of creature.

There is also the sound of the band.

The music got louder and louder, and the last thing we saw was a band in traditional Icelandic costume playing in a pickup truck that was driving very slowly.

Looking from a distance, such a team is still very long, and it can't be seen at a glance from upstairs.

Seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly put on his clothes and prepared to go downstairs to take a look. The camera was hanging around his neck, but today's main shooter may not be Chen Xing's precious camera, but his mobile phone, because his camera cannot record video normally.

When I went downstairs, the sound on the street was even louder than upstairs. When I just picked up my phone and wanted to start recording, Chen Xing saw Chen Jiaqian calling himself.

As soon as I picked it up, I heard a shout from inside: "Chen Xing! You're hot!"

"what?"

He wondered that he hadn't done anything, hadn't participated in any awards recently, and the book hadn't been published yet, so why did it become popular?Is it the travel notes that were sent out just now?
That's impossible, how can a bee hive have the ability to hold fire alone?
"Ah what, did you put Kongming lanterns on the black sand beach this afternoon? You are the number one searched person in Iceland, and now the whole of Iceland is talking about you! You are really popular, at least in Iceland!"

"Hot search?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.

Is this trending search the one he knows?

Still the first?

"Yes, the trending search in Iceland, today should have been a parade and the surprises prepared by various places for this Halloween, but usually this kind of trending search can only find out who will get it at night, and you took a hole in the sky by releasing the Kongming lantern. Let's go, it's number one now! You're popular in Iceland!"

Chen Xing picked up the phone and looked around.

Am I on fire?

Why don't you feel anything?
In the first half of the year, Chen Xing also became popular in China once, and it even led to the tourist craze that still exists until now. He was even created a special forces tour, which made Chen Xing unable to go to those well-known scenic spots even if he wanted to travel in the off-season.

But this is the number one most searched in Iceland, tsk, I really don't feel it.

Chen Jiaqian should also be watching the fun outdoors. There was a lot of noise in the earphones. The two hung up the phone quickly, and Chen Jiaqian sent a link to his WeChat.

After clicking in, it is the interface of Google.

But the trending searches on the right are all about things that happened in Iceland. Except for Chen Xing, who put a Kongming lantern on the trending list, No.2 is a vendor who sells snacks on the side of the road. He keeps singing because he sells things. On the hot search.

No.3 is not in Reykjavik, but in the north of Iceland. This person painted a white ghost face to scare people when he went out. The practical material was his father's ashes.

The fourth is also weird. After the dog was neutered, he ran to the hospital door and barked every day. The doctor yelled that he was wronged and was willing to refund the operation fee...

"What's all this?"

He was a little bewildered.

Iceland's hot search is too...

Casual?
