![]() Mount Esja as seen from Reykjavík at 1:30 p.m. I'd climbed this Mount last summer, but with the winds blowing today I was glad to be down at sea level. |
|
![]() The 2:00 p.m. Reykjavík traffic in the rainy sunset light of winter. |
|
![]() The warmth of an Icelandic home in Garðabær. |
|
![]() An afternoon rain squall off the south coast in the pink and blue light of early afternoon sunset. |
|
![]() The winds were blowing over fifty miles an hour at Storhöfði on Vestmannaeyjar off the south coast. |
|
![]() The sun hangs low in spectacular fashion. |
|
![]() There's not much snow on Vestmannaeyjar. After all this is the south coast of Iceland. |
|
![]() Driving around in the few hours of daylight with Óli, the father of Halla in Nights of the Pufflings / Pysjunætur. It was eleven years ago that we'd driven around in the dark looking for pufflings while photographing that book. |
|
![]() Storhöfði, the setting for my children's novel, a work-in-progress. "X" marks the spot, or is it a tic-tac-toe game? |
|
![]() By the Storhöfði lighthouse. |
|
![]() Traveling back to the mainland on the three-hour ferry ride. It leaves at 2:00 and travels through the end of daylight. |
|
![]() The seas aren't too rough today, but still rolling as we leave Vestmannaeyjar behind in the distance. |
|
![]() Rain squalls off the aft deck. My mind is thinking shapes. Or is a circle in a tic-tac-toe game? |
|
![]() My little fisherman, Friðrik, who will be in Going Fishing and his sister Birta. It was so nice to see friends at their homes evening after evening in an all-too-short week. |
|
![]() Pink and blue, bleikt og blatt. Perhaps this is the game? |
|
Morgunblaðið Rough seas. ![]() Five days after I took the ferry, it was a much rougher crossing with the winds blowing 90 miles per hour on Storhöfði. I was happy to be on land taking the first photo in this sequence of Mount Esja. |
|
What kind of camera did I use to take these photos? A simple easy-to-use point and shoot digital camera. ![]() Canon S400 |
