    Many plant species are shared between the Alps and Iceland. I'd taken the other photo, which shows the flowers, in the Dolomites. And this is actually the national flower of Iceland, though my photo shows the pretty feathery fruit instead. Posted 5 years ago

      Thanks! That was actually one of our prettiest stops. Not on any attraction listing, just drop-dead gorgeous roadside scenery. Posted 5 years ago

        A breathtaking place to visit - even if you just stop along the side of the road! Nice! Posted 5 years ago
