Shadows and Reflections
around Iceland with my Icelandic friends
the last three weeks this 2018 Summer
- in nontraditional solo selfies -

1
On top of a hill in the south at Syðsta Mörk
trying, unsuccessfully, to paint a
watercolor in the wind

2
Fishing in the north on the Skjálfandafljót,
where I caught an Arctic Char

3
By the family barn at Syðsta Mörk
where we had the best wedding,
Rannveig and Atli, in 2014

4
In the museum at Kjarvalsstaðir in Reykjavík,
the museum's website HERE

5
In the old harbor of Reykjavík reflecting
in the EVE Monument from CCP Games, an online
science fiction game, about the game Wiki HERE.
Standing over fifteen feet tall, the monument
consists of three differently shaped spires, two
made of stone flanking a shining metal center
pillar. The game was created Reykjavik.

6
An evening barbecue on the deck in Syðsta Mörk,
Bína's shadow, left, while Óli grills, and both
my reflection and shadow in the window.

7
Walking along Nýlendug in Reykjavik,
from the grassy Þúfa sculpture to Erna's home.

8
At the National Gallery of Iceland HERE,
captured on the display in the
video gallery downstairs.
