the end of the day

[ right-sized ]

 

personal note: as i write this, this property and dozens near it have been evacuated due to a dramatic increase in violence of the ongoing eruption at the eyjafjallajökull glacier. i wanted to take a moment to extend my best wishes to helga haraldsdóttir (the proprietor of this particular farm), her family, and immediate neighbors during this event... i hope you all return home safely, soon.

 

if you're curious how close the volcano is: that snowcap—that's the glacier. further, a careful observer can actually see smoke from the low-level eruption from last week, billowing in the upper right corner of this frame. it was so close that after the sun set, darkened skies glowed magma-orange all night.
