Island Photos

Today I'd like to invite you to see the rest of the photos I took at the last photo exhibition I visited on Friday. The topic was Islands and the islands Zsolt Timár photographed were from Iceland, Norway, Tenerife, Azores. I don't know about you, but I haven't visited any of these countries yet, so for me all the scenes were new.

The other reason I admire these photos is the colors. Yes, you see nature photos every day, but these somehow are very different from those, due to the location and weather too. The mix of green and blue, the balance between the two makes them special to me.

Fjallabak Nature Reserve

The beautiful Fjallabak Nature Reserve is in Iceland, a perfect place to take such beautiful photos. If you take a closer look, you can see a couple of people down the hill. You can see how small we are and how powerful nature is.

Kerlingarfjöll I.

Nature made and man made combined in Kerlingarfjöll, Iceland. Do you see those people standing at the middle of the slope? Those are steps made by man. What I love about this photo is the contrast between snow and white fog and the nice terra color hills. Must be a lovely place and the photographer caught a good angle.

Breiðalsvík, East Fjords

This was a lovely photo, for several reasons, the kind that makes you regret not being able to visit the place. What I loved the most about was the two colors combined and framed by the fog, which was the third color. These foggy photos work like a magnet for me, because I can hardly ever capture foggy photos. My biggest regret here was the presence of my biggest enemy. This was the only spot from where reflections could be avoided.

Viti Crater

Viti crater is an active volcano in Iceland, part of Krafla and has a green lake inside. These are places only a selected few get to visit but we can enjoy the beauty and the uniqueness of the place through these photos. I was wondering if this was a drone photo, or the photographer took it with a camera.

Tungeneset

This is one of my favorites for several reasons. First I like the colors a lot, the blue water, the green mountains topped with those nice clouds. The whole photo suggests tranquility and I think we all need that. In this daily rush, you need to find those things, places that gives you a moment of tranquility. This photo is such an item. I think if I would be there, would go to this place every day for my daily dose of meditation. Time seems to have stopped there. At least that's how I see it. I'd love to have it on my wall. But then again, I don't have enough wall space for all the photographs and artworks I'd love to have.

Fauskasandur

This is another place that fits the description I gave you above. It's a fantastic photo not only for the beauty of the place, but for the light and the cloud in the center of the photo.

Fauskasandur beach is notable for its black sand and an enormous monolith rising from its shore. The almost rectangular giant rock looked out of place, jutting like a missing piece of the surrounding mountain bases.

With its top covered in green foliage that crawls down the rocky sides, like the traditional Viking homes of old, this natural rock formation adds a unique element to the dark shoreline.

The striking contrast between the white breaks in the waves and the black sand is also worth mentioning. Overall, the unique appearance of Fauskasandur makes it a particularly ideal spot for photographers.

Black sand beaches are common in Iceland due to the country being a volcanic island. Volcanic eruptions in the past produced molten lava that flowed directly to the sea and instantly cooled down and solidified into basalt lava rocks once mixed with the freezing waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

The rough waves then eroded the lava rocks into smaller pieces and eventually into black sand. source

Jokulvisl Glacial Fiver

This is also a scene you don't see every day, unless you live there.

Looking at these photos and these places, I was wondering how many of you wish to see these places. A good part of the blockchain has never experienced cold at the level these places offer most of the year, let alone seen snow or ice. A trip to Norway or Iceland can mean a lot. These places are on my list and if I play my cards right, one day I might be able to visit.

Stora Sandvik

Sandvík ("Sandy Bay"; Danish: Sandvig) is the northernmost village of the island of Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands. It is situated on the northern side of a shallow fjord. The village was previously known as Hvalvík (Bay of Whales). It changed its name to Sandvík in 1913 as there was too much confusion regarding mail delivery, because there is another village named Hvalvík on Streymoy. The village had originally been known as Sandvík during the Viking Age. source

Looks like a special place you only see at that part of the world for climate reasons.

This exhibition was like a visit to Scandinavia and made me want to visit the region in real life too.
