Out in the South Iceland countryside.

---

PS. Much better Large

From last january, since all the beautiful snow from two weeks ago now has melted in those last rainy days

And as often the light in the other direction is just as magic

One of the oldest timberchurches in Iceland. My farmhomes parish church. Still I came here seldom as child. There was another church closer to home and tthe preast there was a family friend.

 

As the days are getting shorter there come days like this, where the colours in the clouds are those of sunrise until it is colours of the sunset. Here the sun is actually at it highest. I can not see it, because law clouds in the south, threatening with rain.

Látraströnd er strandlengjan austan við utanverðan Eyjafjörð og nær frá Grenivík í suðri og norður á Gjögurtá. Ströndin dregur nafn sitt af eyðibýlinu Látrum, sem fór í eyði 1942 og voru yst á ströndinni. Á Látraströnd voru allnokkrir bæir en nú er ströndin óbyggð fyrir utan Finnastaði, rétt norðan Grenivíkur.

 

I was waiting for the golden hours of our short day, but just when the sun should rise over the horizon the clouds started to block it

The whole day without direct sunshine, but the sunrise going into sunset. Sometimes these shortest days are just endless beauty

There is only a short while from last two photos, but the light changed from moment to moment
