Var að velta því fyrir mér þegar ég fór út af veröndinni í morgunn til að taka mynd af þessu Birki laufi, hverjar líkurnar væri, að ljósmyndari lengst upp á Norður hjara veraldar tækju ljósmynd af því. Þetta lauf kemur bara einu sinni á sinni lífstíð og það er ekki eins og ég sé hérna á hverjum degi og það á þessum stað og þessum tíma.

What do you think, what are the odds?

Birch is the most common forest tree in Iceland and forms forests and shrubs on dry land up to 400–450 m above sea level. Previously, it was widespread throughout the lowlands of the country and formed in many places continuous forests. The highest height of the birch is about   . . . . all information about the place can be found at:   https://www.patreon.com/RafnSig
