So sorry to hear about Leo; losing a furry friend is such a heartbreak. Cosmo is adorable, and hopefully will help to heal the heartache.

[@mainemanlooking40]

That drone shot at sunset was killer with that ray of sunshine.

[@Eskiodoe]

Sorry to hear about Leo, I’m sure you gave him as much joy as he did you. Hang in there Gavin. Great video as always.

[@Trish12303]

So sorry to hear about Leo. Losing a pet is so painful and leaves such a hole in our lives. I really like that quote you read about pets, it is so true. Cosmo is adorable! I’m sure he will bring you as much love and joy as Leo. And, I am right there with Amanda, cold all the time. It really does suck. Even cold, she is always such a trooper!!

[@MrBusby]

Always a good day when Amanda and Gavin pop up in my YT feed. Thanks.

[@karenwalter5784]

I’m so sorry for your loss. It is gut wrenching. They are such a special part in our lives and it hurts so much when they leave. I still have two elderly cats but I lost my beloved collie at 8 yrs old in July. I miss him every day. I just got a new collie puppy and although he’ll never take Laddie’s place he sure is quite the character. It is helping. Enjoy your precious little kitten. Absolutely adorable!

[@millymucci]

with heartfelt sympathy and empathy for the loss of your feline family member, yet great giggles at Cosmos Cattitude!! amazing jaggedy landscape and photography, fab drone shot discovery, hope amanda is recovered from that spectacular treat of a romantic night out. 🤗

[@MarkRobinsonMusic]

Cats have pure hearts; I'm so sorry for your loss. The best tribute to Leo is the love you will share with your new furry baby 😻

[@vivlund]

I’m not finished watching, but I must compliment you, Gavin, on not only the beautiful visuals, but also the accompanying audio and music. Simply majestic.

[@kuriouskhemist3395]

Another wonderful video packed with great images, insight and Amanda’s humor! So sorry to hear about Leo…

[@roadshoulderphotography683]

That saying of pets is so true and I'm sorry for your loss. They only give you Love without conditions....

[@thomasriera2030]

Another great video Gavin! So sorry for your loss of Leo. Our pets are our furry family members. Congratulations on the addition of Cosmo!

[@mikeinmontana8875]

Kathy and I have been friends since we were 11 years old. We married at 18/19. (as thumbnail reveals) 42 years now and 'date' night often seems a staring contest these days..I kid. Sorta. Blessed and such a beauty to this day. My God what she's put up with~ Another well done video Gavin. Pure talent. And of course some laughs too. All the very best to you and Amanda 🤝

[@ToBCreations]

Losing a beloved pet is like losing a family member or friend, so I'm very sorry for your loss. But they bring so much joy so we can't live without them. 😻 Loved the video and the images, and as a "droner" myself I of course enjoy those spectacular views from up high.

[@ItsWillLee]

So sad to hear about Leo, sincere condolences❤ Cosmos is a very beautiful addition, I love the symmetrical pattern on his head, so cute 😊 Spectacular views for a date night, the geology of Iceland is unbelievable for such a small island. Thanks for sharing, Cheers

[@sarahbatsford4791]

Stunning scenery, the drone shot was gorgeous. Lovely to see your new addition to the family. RIP Leo❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nicholashall8294]

Another cracking video Gavin. I always look forward to a new episode. So sorry to hear about Leo 😢 Very sad for you and Amanda. I am sure Cosmo will bring you much joy.

[@jillianburke2]

RIP Leo. 😢 Cosmo is a little cutie 😊

[@ChrisDurrant-pj7ln]

So sorry to hear about Leo Gavin. We have also lost recently a beloved pet and emotions are still very raw, as I’m sure they are for you and Amanda. I’m finding getting out and doing some photography to be a great comfort in the circumstances, hope it’s helping you too. Great video as always.

[@klausschleicher523]

Sorry to hear about Leo. I'm sure you and Amanda gave him all the love and he had a very good time in your family. The drone shot is amazing.

[@Hirsutechin]

Despite your best efforts to show a gal a good time, Amanda still got the best lines! 😄

[@rcl-crafter8]

We are so sorry to hear about Leo. We recently lost the last of our kitties that we hand raised. It's hard but you have each other and your other babies to help heal your heart. His spirit is still with you in that lovely church. Hugs! Patty

[@richardoverens8582]

Great mix of adventure travelogue, comedy entertainment and photography!

[@GaryStockton]

Oh I’m so sorry for your loss of your dear Leo. He looked like such a cuddly companion. Thanks for another great video Gavin, the pictures were amazing.

[@bobarchbold275]

what an absolute roller coaster ride of emotions with tonight's video... humour, awe, love and affection followed with sorrow. Don't worry about posting new videos, your pets and your own well being is of far greater importance!.. take care of yourselves at a difficult time, your loyal followers will always be here waiting around the corner.

[@gmediaproductions]

Great drone shot at the end... Worth the wait... And hats off to Amanda as she is so patient with your work but you both are very enjoyable to watch.

[@srameypr]

So very sorry to hear about Leo. It is so hard to lose our fur babies. Cosmo is precious! Oh, and the photos were amazing! Iceland is like a fantasy world.

[@jeannineelliott9437]

I'm sorry to hear about Leo. My heart goes out to you, Amanda and Sterling. I hope Cosmo helps the healing process go more smoothly.

[@alexSpunkt.]

Great video as always! Again, sorry for your loss, i know the feeling, been there many times and its heartbreaking 💔

[@martinjordan5172]

Great entertainment as always and of course fabulous photographs. Really sorry to hear about the loss of Leo. Your position from about 14.32 - I was totally distracted by the gargoyle rock perched on the left of your composition.

[@merkin22]

So very sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful friend. Rest in Peace, Leo. Cosmo is adorable. He'll help as you manage your grief. Sending love for your broken hearts.

[@onlyvideoillupload]

This channel is breath of fresh air and so enjoyable. Its awesome to learn in such an entertaining way!

[@geomatrix5452]

Loved it Gavin! Photography is my favorite hobby. Especially timelapse and drone footage. Your drone footage there in Iceland is spectacular! As well as all of your photos, you go the distance to get the best compositions. Thumbs up to Amanda for dealing with your trail trips! 😁 Please don't stop the drone footage! Cheers!

[@roryhaymanphotography8882]

Thanks!

[@fototripper]

Thanks Rory.

[@JasonLorette]

That peak was giving an 'old man of storr' vibe, especially in that drone pic! Sorry to hear about Leo...lost mine a few years ago at 18, and our pup little over a year ago at 17...it's never easy. We have a new friend arriving in the spring...Cosmo is cute!

[@clintmiller3654]

i see the scratches on your hands, looks like Cosmo is have fun with his new poppy. Great photos, thanks for sharing

[@deblashbrook3209]

I’m so sorry to hear about Leo, it’s really so hard loosing a furry friend. But I hope Cosmo doesn’t give Sterling to much grief lol. And I think we should all send Gavin and Amanda some Twirls, to make up for that Icelandic chocolate stuff

[@brianmckeever5280]

Terrific images sir! Nice adventure. Sorry about your loss. Happy to see the latest Hardcastle! That was a terrific drone nugget! Love light like that. Oh, is the camper gone? You getting a new one? Safe travels!

[@fototripper]

I'm still in two minds about the camper...

[@gregdarroch1946]

Thank God for your video today. That’s my exercise done for the week, watching you two climbing.

[@rogerhostinphotography]

So sorry for your loss Gavin. Cosmo is adorable. Hoping he makes more future guest appearances in your videos.

[@trishf29]

Stunning shots after that long climb! Well worth the effort even though it didn’t turn out quite as you visualised. Sorry to hear about Leo, but glad you succumbed to little Cosmo. He’ll steal your hearts for sure!

[@crn813]

Loved the video, such beautiful pics and scenery. I am so sorry about Leo. Loosing our precious pets leaves a hole in our hearts but they give us so much love and memories to hold on to.

[@valeriehoffman8180]

Loved this video, and the images were absolutely stunning! And Cosmo is too cute. Show him often

[@larrysalaets7088]

Sorry for your loss. Losing a pet (especially to the evil of cancer) is definitely difficult. Also hope that Amanda feels better. Excellent video, but I must admit that I think that I saw one of the "sheep" on it's back with its feet in the air during the drone footage (check it out around the 20:20 timeframe). Now before you scan the mountainside for some little critter, I am referring to the illusion caused by the jagged peaks).

[@atomikmaster1]

RIP Leo ....Thanks for your uploads mate. Look forward to them and revisiting older ones. Cheers

[@robgrayson]

Another fantastic video full of breathtaking landscapes. As a fellow cat-lover (and Yorkshireman!), you have my sincere condolences for the loss of Leo. Our senior cat, Merlin, turned 15 a couple of days ago; we don't know how much longer he might have so are just making the most of every day. That said, Cosmo looks adorable 🙂

[@fototripper]

yah, every day is precious.

[@ti-ande]

Amazing photography as always! I'm So sorry about sweet Leo 😢 I always enjoyed when he'd pop in here and there in your videos. I'm about to lose my third cat to cancer. I love what you said about how we are their whole lives. It's a privilege to be a caretaker to our animals. Welcome to the world adorable Cosmo!

[@zhikander-4227]

Oh yeah, they are "only" a story in our life's book (but what a beautiful one), but we are their whole book... I am sorry for your loss. Cosmo is stunning 🙂 Thanks for the beautiful iceland pics.

[@martinpriest5446]

a very rememberable video Gavin, with cracking images, I think it would be great to include Amanda in a image with that bright red jacket against the stunning landscape, she is so patient, I love your butter up mate, with Icelandic chocolate, ha ha, so lovely and sad to here your story about your old best friend Leo, but watching you with cosmo I am sure and Amanda are going to be very happy with him, thanks for shearing mate.

[@uncle0eric]

Sorry about the loss of your pet. I loved the quote you shared -- thanks for that. (Also sorry Icelandic chocolate hasn't lived up to expectations. At least you got one of the best date nights ever out of it.)

[@christianpatton1852]

So sorry for your loss of Leo I lost my furry friend 2 years ago still miss her a lot glad to see you have Cosmo now he is adorable and will bring you lots of joy.

[@GralphW]

Brilliant work Gavin - just ordered five of your prints. You have been blessed with Amanda, a great thing to get out and enjoy these places together 🙂 The landscape is a little different here in Australia but still has the same spellbinding effect when you get out and photograph it - central Australia is pretty special. Off to Tasmania for 3 weeks - that should be more like Iceland😂

[@fototripper]

Thanks for the support and I'm jealous about your Taz trip :)

[@tcwhite0104]

Since I have been away and not following I have a lot to catch up on!! Great photos of Caddo Lake..

[@hielkeklooster241]

You guys are so blessed with such beautiful scenery

[@malcolmross203]

Great work as usual . Inspiring.

[@kk6t]

I'm loving your Iceland episodes. I went to Iceland with some non-photogs and it was TORTURE. So I'm traveling there vicariously through you.

[@phynx2006]

Oh sure, attempt to win us over with sleepy kittens in the video, dam I think Cosmo is acting like a tractor beam, I can't look away 👀 cuteness overload. Iceland definitely looks like a great place for landscape photography, you were able to get some great images👍👍😎

[@lichtsammler258]

My condolences for losing Leo. Your pictures are great again, thank you!

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Some serious dronage Pal !! Sad to hear about Leo, Cosmo is going to be a star for sure

[@hughchisholm-ns]

So sorry to hear about Leo. I always enjoy seeing your cats in your videos. Can’t wait to see what shenanigans the new little tyke gets into. P.S. I enjoyed this week’s video - especially Amanda’s comment about your adorable aroma. 😂

[@robdalziel7056]

Cosmo is adorable!

[@johnwright619]

Great video as always and sorry to hear of your loss with Leo.

[@thomashecht71]

I‘m so sorry for your loss, Gavin and Amanda. One of my cats had been quite sick recently, and it almost teared my heart out. It must haven been really hard for you with Leo.

[@whayman1026]

Condolences for your loss. Cosmo looks like a great addition to the family.

[@pattymattes7124]

Sorry about Leo. Looks like he had a good life. I'm sure Cosmo will help heal the hurt. Poor Amanda. She really did look cold. I think she deserves some nice chocolate. Thanks again for the laughs and as always you got some amazing shots. I love the drone shot at the end.

[@stephenoliver7386]

Great video and so sorry for your loss

[@brucedelorme5026]

After that long hike up the side of that mountain i think that was a good perspective shot and is beautiful. However I would have had Amanda go stand on the pinnacle on the end of the cliff and do some kind of ballet stance. However that second shot of the cliffs and the mountain above the other mountains is KILLER!!!

[@Erkko69-q3e]

Sorry for your lost. Good video again Amanda. 11:07 , your romantic talks Are good.20:50 nice. I think Gavin needs rise to his salery. He do a lot of stuff.

[@rfeewjlj]

I’m so sorry about Leo. Losing a pet sucks. Our dogs are our kids since we weren’t able to have any and it’s never easy when they have to pass on. Sending big hugs to both of you and I hope you make lots of great memories with Cosmo.

[@johnrouterer9038]

Hi Gavin, Amanda, I know exactly how you feel at losing such an important and lovable member of the family in Leo, we get so attached to them but all you can do is console yourself that Leo had a very happy and contented life….and no doubt lots of photoshoots to contend with. Very Best Wishes to You All.

[@dawnmason2378]

Great video as always. That rock to the left reminded me of an Eagle's head. So sorry to hear about Leo, Cosmo is adorable ❤

[@bradpeck1901]

cool video - i love the drone footage - beautiful place

[@memelissa2]

Looked like a perfect date night to me. 🤣 That area around Vik is amazing. Can't wait to see the beach shots. Sorry to hear about Leo, losing a pet is always tough. Give Amanda a hug for me.

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

Got my copy a few weeks ago and the photo with your wife in a water feature is one of my favorites. I was also in Maine some years ago and got to photograph the Portland Head lighthouse, it's the park that you were evicted from for staying to late and I hope to make another trip looking to stay some place near the lighthouse.

[@fototripper]

Thanks for the support James :)

[@gailmager4147]

Fun date indeed. Beautiful scenery. Sorry to hear about leo. Great name cosmo, sure he will bring new stories and joy.

[@jeffklpo]

Gavin , Great video as always, and I am sorry for your loss with Leo, Best wishes for you and Amanda. :)

[@juanitakelly3082]

The drone footage was dreamy even if you didn't get the still images you were hoping for. Just being in that location looked amazing. A thermos of hot cocoa next time! Cosmo looks sweet!

[@martinhoward2957]

so sorry about Leo, always heartbeaking when they leave us. But I'm sure he knew he was loved. Looking forward to seeing Cosmo grow!

[@mondohand71]

FASTHMA Tshirts would sell like hotcakes 😂 Make it happen! Great vid buddy ! Those blue hour shots 👏🏽👏🏽

[@CapricornGirl9]

RIP Leo, you left paw prints of love on Gavin and Amanda’s heart.

[@Chromatomic]

Bless all the partners of landscape photographers waiting for them to get the shot but even the worst light of that evening beats most other places easily.

[@thelonghaul5214]

The new kitten is adorable. My wife had one follow her home when she went for a walk and she is now ours. She’s a little derpy, but super affectionate and my little shadow.

[@mariopereira8261]

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Leo, I also lost my 24 year old cat Guga. Cosmo will bring much joy to your church. Great trip to Iceland, and fantastic photos Gavin

[@fototripper]

24! You were very lucky to get such a long life for your baby Guga.

[@mariopereira8261]

@@fototripper Very lucky, Guga gave us a lot of joy for 24 years

[@MiscellanyTop]

Hi Gavin & Amanda. We were very sorry to hear of your loss, having experienced similar with dogs over the years. Some do not understand how traumatic such losses are but we have much empathy with you. Good luck. (And, since this is probably the first time I have written to you - thank you so much for the excellent videos over the years, which continue so well). All the best from Blighty.

[@fototripper]

Thanks :)

[@sapphieburry5216]

So sorry for your loss 💔 your new baby is gorgeous ❤

[@Raykenn1]

Enjoyed your video thanks for posting 👍

[@catherinegarretson]

Yes. I was obsessed with identifying that wonderful smell in Iceland. I think it was the moss. Any ideas? Nice photography.

[@Ed-davies]

Beautiful location ❤ so sorry to hear about Leo, my condolences.

[@krimke881]

Gavin, you need to teach your mrs. about wool and puffer jackets. Also one-time-use pocket warmers. It's a given on photo trips. There's no way out of it. Also a light weight bivvy bag,, like those emergency bags. it'll keep the heat properly good.

[@ickebins6948]

Magentic shots as always!

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

Loved your drone shot, and sorry to hear about the passing of Leo,they certainly become a big part of our lives i think that after the cat we have taken in after my parents passed ( Muffins) and our dog , lacey, leave us, I don't know if I will have any more. Each time it's harder to say good by and our dog 🐕 has been such a big part of my everyday life, it's going to be a hard one when she goes. Cosmo should have his own You Tube show.

[@SolarPowerChannelwithChris]

Them cliffs gavin used to be the shore line. The sea has since retreated.. the western road which is a ring road.

[@andrewlloyd-seetim1271]

So sorry to hear about Leo. Love that they (pets) are Chapter in our Story and we are their Story. Cosmo is cute - I hope you listened to him and fed him, he looked like he was ready to snack on his paw 😜

[@nicksaunders106]

So sorry to hear about Leo. Great video as always.

[@LittleTalksWithMyles]

Fasma had me dying laughing… do I owe you royalties if I use that line in a video? And… I’m so sorry for your loss. It crushes me every time I lose a furry-family member, but I also can’t imagine a life without them.

[@nemetona07]

Iceland and your latest upload - the perfect combo this evening. BTW, I bought that Icelandic chocolate whilst stopping off for a well earned coffee on the drive to the glacial lagoon, not realising it was filled with liquorice which I hate. Then to top it all I poured what I took to be sugar into my coffee not realising it was salt..lol! I was pretty grumpy after that....but hey, shooting at the lagoon more than made up for it. 🙂

[@fototripper]

oh god I'd be grumpy after that too.

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Great vlog guys 😊I love that saying about pets and I’m so sorry to hear about Leo 😢❤x
