The entire tour day schedule, from sunrise to sunset, is going to/from beautiful places to photograph. In Iceland, when I say beautiful places, I mean other worldly/story of creation beautiful. Just to see these landscapes is a blessing, let alone to photograph them. The normal daily routine: nice breakfast in a farmer's guest house; on the road 30-45 minutes before sunrise to capture golden hour photos; travel to a second shooting location, picnic lunch there; travel to another shooting sight for sunset photos; back to the lodgings when the sun has gone down for dinner/unwinding/sleep.
