Leaves are already starting to yellow here, although the temperatures have been warm by Icelandic standards - except that we've had an incredibly strong wind of 20 m/s (40 mph). More importantly, the unassuming little plant I've been identifying as "vaccinium" all summer turned out to be a blueberry bush! We went out on Kalfastrond to see what we could find and ended up with a lot of blueberries!

So far with only been eating them on cereal, in skyr, or just straight, but there are plans for blueberry pancakes in the future.
Here's a picture of the lake right outside our house - Kalfastrond is the most sheltered part of the lake and is usually relatively calm even when it's not safe to go out on the rest of the lake. Not so much today, though.

And here's a panorma shot from Nammifjall, the mud pots I visited a few days ago:
