Icy road... 


Uploaded for the fun of it... This is the road going all around Iceland, called Þjóðvegur 1. If you look closely you can see it is covered with a thin layer of ice, making it very hard to drive on it.... In the daylight it was acutally ok but after dark it was hard :o)

Scary, although I guess living there in those conditions you'd get used to it.

Hi Ragnheidur!!! After seeing that your pictures (and you!!) made it to the front page of Ipernity recently, I just have to say how "remarkable" your portfolio is! I REALLY think that you should be a professional by now. Go for it!!... :D :D :D :D AWSOME as usual!! Ha!! ;)

I know that I WILL come to Iceland one day to see this wonderful scenery... And when I do I KNOW I will need a good 4x4 to get around! ;)

I am looking forward to seeing what you can do with the NEW CAMERA!! (Which one is it, by the way?)

Ragnheidurpro replies:
Thanks NigelKA, I really appreciate your very nice comments towards my pictures :o)

A professional, no :o) I am a pilot and that has been my only "profession" so to speak.

Although my interest in "art" has brought me to several classes teaching all kinds of painting and drawing. That interest has drawn me to taking pictures of other things than my sons. I have sold a bunch of pictures without advertising in any way which makes me happy and glad but it doesnt make me a pro :o) I did study in NYIP which did me so good...

Looking forward to hear when you show up in Iceland... :o) and thanks again.

Iceland dark and gloomy in winter? The light is awesome! Æðisleg birtan sem gefur svona fallega skugga. Finnst uppsetningin mjög góð hlutfallslega, man ekki hvað þetta heitir en línur fara á víxl þannig að augað leitar frá hægri til vinstri á víxl.

... the ring road. I remember being there, that I was told there are special cottages at the sides, with food and things to survive, in case of accident. I admire this organization, and respect for others, as I was told too, that what anyone would consume, would soon refill it again for the next ones who would need it.

Have a nice week!

Literally ice-land... wow!
Eek...it would freak me out to have to drive on that - though at least it seems there's nothing to crash into for miles around! ;-)

Your feel for composition, colors and light stands out! You seem to work much like a painter does, with an astute eye for proportions, color and light and such. Amazing!
