The Icelandic desert :-) 


I have been uploading photos from the desert here in Mauritania so I thought it was proper to show you our Icelandic desert :) Not that different landscape if you use a black and white film, but a little bit different climate :)

This little house is on top of the mountain Steingrímsfjarðarheiði, and it is used as a shelter for travelers if something goes wrong when they pass the mountain. We have to build these shelters a little bit differently than they do in the desert :)

I never understood why they don't build shelter with a red flag or something that could help peoples to find in winter....

Like the comparison ;-)

Thanks Anthony :) I am sure a red flag would help, but I guess the flag does not stay there for long in conditions like that.

I can imagine yes :)
maybe a red LIGHT would be better ....
like on the top of highest buildings maybe...

Flott mynd, sérstkalega skemmtileg við hliðina á hinni úr eyðimörkinni. 2 andstæðir heimar, en samt kannski ekki svo ólíkir.
