Geysir

Okay, imagine that you happen to make it to the Great Geysir, but you are not the touristy kind of guy to know every little detail of the things and places you are going to see during your trip. So you do not know how often Geysir erupts. There is an option to figure out while asking from the visitor center or from other visitors, but you play cool and take your chances. You go near to the small water basin, which is really packed near to the Geysir area, which is bordered by a little fence, and stare it all through the viewfinder to capture the moment when Geysir bursts. Oh, there it go and you miss it, because the hurl just frightened you. Uuh! Okay, now you look around and check the surroundings, see many well equipped (photographically, of course) Japanese, lots of elderly people and colorful jackets, not to mention endless lava fields and stones. You do not know when the next burst will take place, but you'll be ready anyway. It happens so fast and the moment you remember to raise the lens a bit higher, the jet is already high up in the air. You are smart enough to check the watch to realize that it takes approximately 7 minutes to another burst.....

Until you have all the phases of the formation of the Great Geysir.

That would be me. And maybe someone you know.

Geysir is located in the Haukadalur valley, Iceland. It is the earliest geyser known to Europeans. During the eruptions at Geysir it can hurl boiling water up to 70 meters in the air.
