Things of the past

Love the low angle Oddur!

Thank you Dave :o)

Excellent photo!

Thank you Olher :o)

Great angle and I like the big belly of the ship on the left side :)

Thank you Charon. Big bellies can be good on ships but I'm trying to keep mine from getting bigger ;o)

Flott sjónarhorn, fallega blár himinn og Simpson ský!
Looks like a mama boat and a baby boat on an outing :D

Takk Begga. Kannski vill litli báturinn verða eins og hinn þegar hann verður orðinn stór ;o)

wonderful photo , Oddur ! Like the calm surface of the snow in contrast to the building and the ships.

Thank you hermannfj :o)

I totally agree with Pixie! Nice shot! That new camera has good shadow definition... :)

Thank you AS. I'm just starting to learn some of the settings, but so far I'm very happy with my camera :o)

it's so beautiful... and peaceful...
& white... =D

Thank you Anita :o)

Thank you Nada :o)

Cool! Why is the Tower House such basely?

Thanks Sandra... but I don't understand the question!

Hm... I thought as much, because I can't found the right words to explain what I mean... I'll try it again:
The architecture of the house is a special one: very low ground floor (be) or first floor (ae) and the roof is the "real" floor. The question is: Why?
... huuuuuh.... hope you understand know, if not.... I've to learn english again... ;-)

This house was used as a warehouse and fish-processing plant and the ground floor is not very high. I guess the main storage was on the upper floor. I found some awesome pictures from inside this house on flickr, and you can take a look here

Thanks Oddur - for your answer and the link to "druzli". He captured very nice inhouse images and perfectly done in hdr - very nice work!
