Drangsnes



This is the first shot of my and Maria's hitch-hiking trip to Western Iceland. The plan was to reach to Drangsnes by the end of the first day, which we managed, as here you can see a view to its port.

Though I eat fish and have a gold fish at home, I didn't participate fishing these cute creatures.

Supporting local Icelandic company North 66, which products are sewn in Latvia, by the way.

Fisherman 1 and 2



You can be tuus, if you have a good fishing boat and fishes just flow in.


I guess fisherman and smoking goes hand in hand.

Parcel from home





One thing was enough that Maria came to visit me in Iceland, but the other thing was that mom had put together a real survival food kit of the things I had been missing out. Thank you both!

Sorry for the double exposure.

Birtna


Tried to get a nice portrait of Birtna. She is an amazing person, but also very talkative and not into posing, therefore had not much luck taking one good one of her.



Maybe this looks better.

Painter


I have unfortunately forgotten this lovely painters name, but I really loved her art and I ended up buying one of her pieces to my mom. Yeah, very practical of me - to buy a painting from Iceland to take it to Estonia.

Oh and as you can see, I still made focusing errors....

Ásbyrgi



Ásbyrgi canyon lies in the north of Iceland, about two hours' drive to the east from Akureyri. The horseshoe-shaped depression is part of the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park and measures approximately 3.5 km in length and 1.1 km across. For more than half of its length, the canyon is divided through the middle by a distinctive rock formation 25 meters high called Eyjan ("the Island"), from which hikers may enjoy spectacular views.

Kerlingarfjöll field




There were new people coming in every now and then, some stayed at the main house and some in their tents. Sometimes the wind was so strong that it pulled them out from the ground.

Black and white sunset


Looking at this shot you can really tell that my Lubitel 166 was leaking some light onto the film...
