A Police Story... 


When I was taking this picture, a car drove by. Few seconds later another car followed, it was the police and they turned on the lights on top to stop the other car. That explains the blue lights on the right and the red dot where the cars stopped :o)
Usually there is not much traffice at this place so late in the evening so it was funny to get those two in the same picture :o)
This photo has notes. Move the mouse over the photo to see them.

Mjög tær og skýr mynd... og ansi er kofinn flottur í forgrunninum! Hefði verið flott að hafa svona forgrunn í norðuljósunum hérna í fyrrakvöld :o) Og löggusagan er náttúrulega snilld, engin smá tilviljun að ná þessu á mynd :o)

Takk Begga. Ég er rosalega hrifinn af svona gömlum kofum og dóti í forgrunni.. og svo voru lögguljósin fínn bónus :o)

I like this, and the car lights add to it too!
Almost like an intrusive laser blasting through the peace of this area.

Thanks John. I didn't know what to think when the blue blinking lights came on, but I think they are a fine addition to the picture :o)

Great shot Oddur!! What bad luck - you decide to speed (or whatever) on a deserted road in Iceland, but choose the wrong road and the Police spot you!!! I have days like that!!! :-D I love the way you captured not only the car lights but also the stars. Superb! :-D

Oddur Jonssonpro replies:
Thanks Nigel. If I wanted to make this story more dramatic, I could tell you that this road is the only one open to Isafjordur in the winter time and sometimes the police waits just outside of town if they get the news that some drug dealers or suspicious guys are on their way here :o)

Einskonar glæpasaga hér á ferð Oddur ;o) Gaman stundum að fá svona bílljós inná.

Oddur Jonssonpro replies:
Takk Ragga. Fannst blikkljósin bara koma vel út en held að glæpurinn hafi ekki verið stór, allavega var stoppið stutt og svo snéri löggan aftur við og fór að leita að fleiri "glæponum" :o)

I am reading with great pleasure the Icelandic detective stories, Arnaldur Indridason and Arni Thorarinson. They are great.

Glad you like them. This summer there will be available trips to the places where Arnaldur's stories happen and I've heard foreigners are quite interested in that :o)
