Kleifarvatn is located in the centre of the Reykjanes Peninsula, near the Krýsuvík and Gunnhver geothermal areas. This region is renowned for its geothermal and geological activity; the landscape is covered in a thick layer of lava, which itself is topped by a haunting moss, and hot springs steam in many areas. A row of active volcanoes run along its length.The peninsula, and Kleifarvatn itself, lies on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic ridge, between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

yesterday i had a shoot with the amazingly gorgeous miss ameerah!
i had originally been wanting to use this old red school bus that is just up the road from my house, but i wasnt able to get a hold of the owner in time. worked out for the best though, cause i thought of some new things that otherwise may not have come to me. and ill still get to that bus. ;)
im also considering some things here... like creating a project for myself. i cant do a 365... mostly because of winter and im baby - ill never ever make it through, i just know it. but i would like to make a goal to create 100 new pieces this summer. gives me some room to skip on weddings! and this is already #3 since i decided i would do this, so im off to a good start. :D
extras on my facebook + more coming soon.

If you look hard enough you may find one, too.

“No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human beast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.”

This Red-headed Woodpecker is busy excavating a nest site. Likely the male, since they do most of the excavation. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

The works representing mythological figures.
Drawing on information from the excavation and stylistic comparisons, the pavement has been dated to the first half or middle of the 2nd century AD. A deeper examination of the pavement during its lifting and restoration allowed for an understanding of the construction techniques and the successive phases of installation of its different segments. While the ensemble was realised in situ, in opus tessellatum, the circular medallion, created in opus vermiculatum using miniscule elements, was composed within a workshop upon a terracotta base (the emblema technique) and then inserted into a space left empty in the centre of the shield. The border decorated with a guilloche was added at a third stage in order to camouflage the join between the shield and the emblema. By identifying the material used for the medallion and the guilloche, we can say that the creation of the panel and its insertion were carried out by the same team.
