Sunrise in Iceland with dark clouds, misty mountains, deep green fields, and a golden skyline.

Iceland lies at 66 degrees North, and in the summer the sun only sets for a couple hours. This leads to protracted golden hours lasting 2-3 hours, and sunsets and sunrises last for a long time.

Thank you!

Perspective view of an abandoned building in Iceland with colorful graffiti art.

Abandoned building near a couple of decommissioned whaling vessels. Iceland is one of 3 countries that has yet to ban whaling, however, falling global demand has pretty much made the practice obsolete.

Ephemeral Icelandic Light And Landscapes. During my two weeks in Iceland the light cooperated off and on for maybe a total of one day, but when it did, it really did.

Lost In The World Around Us. The digital world often consumes the physical, and I am just as guilty as most others. Stop, disconnect from the net, look around you, connect with a human.

Thank you, I had to lean into grey skies in Iceland since that was mostly what we had to work with.

Black sand dunes in Iceland.

Black Sand Dunes, Selfoss, Iceland. The sand is weathered lava, and is just one of many other-worldly experiences here. Google maps redirected us around a volcanic eruption.
