Icelandic Horse

Icelandic Horse

Over the past week I have seen a few blogs posting Icelandic horses so I thought why not post one from my recent Iceland adventure. 

According to online sources theses horses are still a large part of Iceland life, even with modern road improvements and new technology. They are also used as race, show and farm horses - some farmers still use them to round up their sheep in the highlands.There are about 80,000 horses in Iceland - interesting as the population of Iceland is 317,000 (60% in Reykjavik).

Iceland - Glacier Lagoon

Glacier Lagoon, Iceland

Spent two mornings at the Glacier Lagoon on the south side of Iceland. Twilight starts at 2:30AM and runs until 4:00AM when you start to see the sunrise - they say in the winter there is two hours of twilight on each end of the day.

At any rate the first day we left the hotel at 4:00AM and missed the fabulous pink tone in the sky - the second day we departed the hotel at 3:00AM and that was perfect timing....caught the twilight and then the sunrise. This year the icebergs seemed to be in more of a cluster where last year they seemed a bit more staggered....the tide was moving so they would crash into each other sometimes rolling over and floating away - the sound they made was awesome.....a cross between an earthquake and a car wreck....something other worldly......

The new image in the header was behind our hotel - another part fo the glacier....the detail in those rocks is simply stunning....

Church Gate

Gate, Iceland Church

This church was located on a fairly desolate farm in the northwest corner of Iceland. You see these small churches in many different locations from main roads to behind an individual home....More on this when I get home and have some time to process a few more images....

Weather has been fairly off for the past two days - rain and fog. Do not really mind the fog but could do with a little less rain.....

Mesquite Dunes

Mequite Dunes, Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley

Coney Island Color

Summer, Coney Island

'Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera'.........Minor White 

Coney Island is always colorful candy for the eye. Flashes of color everywhere you look, and, let me also mention the human element is rather colorful. This image appeared out of nowhere - it surprised me while walking down to the beach - looked up and the composition appeared....loved the saturated colors and man made objects against the perfectly blue summer sky....
