A couple of days off social media was what I needed. Did a lot of walks and photography. A curious quality of Iceland’s short midwinter day is how it feels like a dawn and a sunset rolled into one with no actual day. The light is born dying. But then again, isn’t everything?

A field with ditches cut into it. The snow that covers it makes everything feel a little bit more geometric
Geothermal steam blocks the sun and frost covers the grass
Steam flowing over grass while its freezing leaves a field of frozen grass. It looks like growing crystal
More of that frozen grass. Wafts of steam float over everything

The light makes even otherwise kinda boring scenes interesting

Steam flows over Varmá river. We can see trees on the other bank.
Moss and grass, covered with snow. In the distance we see construction equipment and a crane
Hveragerði under the midwinter sun. Trees below. Then the town

@virtualwolf Sometimes Iceland just really helps you out as a photographer. “Here, have some mood-setting steam over your scene as a treat.” 😄

@baldur Hahaha amazing. My parents went to Iceland on a photographic tour a few years ago and god DAMN does your country punch above its weight in terms of scenery versus size. 😂
