Night at the aluminium plant 

Já alltad jafn sjarmerandi staður, falleg mynd of svo mikill friður yfir henni, bravo fyrir þér Begga

Takk takk Ester :o)

oldies but goldies.. very true here..:) beautiful as always...

p.s.: so this is wher they made this little fella' the Tin Man

Hehe... yes, it probably was! Great show btw :o)
Thank you so much Teo :o)

Love the treatment and the restrained colours.

Thank you Angela, it was taken at nearly ten o'clock in the evening, hence the restrained colours :o)

Yes, such a peaceful - yet powerful - photo. A sleeping lion, perhaps...

As I sit here I am listening to a track by David Lowe called Lilly which is very laid back and thoughtful...

And this got me thinking.... Am I correct that Iceland processes bauxite ore for other countries? It gets shipped to you for heating and conversion to aluminium - which uses a lot of electricity. Perhaps Iceland is ideal for this because of your geothermal power??? Making the price attractive...

There you go... Said I was being thoughtful... Don't worry, it won't last!! :-D

Well Nigel... you got me there! I must confess that I don't know very much about the aluminium industry here in Iceland, even though it has been in the press a lot, especially since they are talking about building some more plants... two I think :o)

And you're welcome to be thoughtful on my photos anytime! :D

EDIT: I did some research on Wikipedia ;o) and this is what I found:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Iceland#Aluminium
The second plant they are thinking of building would be near Húsavík, my birthtown.

Hmmm. Interesting. Good to read that some are not so happy about such a large new factory (Bjork and her Mother etc) - especially since it is so close to my friend's home town!!

I guess that right now Iceland needs all the investment in alternative industries that it can get. One up-side is that the plant would use geothermal power which is both cheap and environmentally friendly. Great for jobs in and around Húsavík, but a little scary all the same...

That is exactly the debate here... jobs and money vs. the environment...

Mjög falleg mynd :-)

Takk takk Tryggvi :o)

hope the weather gets better so u can take new ones, alternatively there is always Australia to visit.. but you need few months to see it all

Thank you Nada, I hope so too :o) ... and I have always wanted to visit Australia, maybe some day...

Er ekki kominn tími á smá ferðalag????????

Æ jú... ég er búin að fara milljón sinnum í gegnum allar myndirnar mínar og finn akkúrat ekkert... þarf að fara að bæta einhverju nýju við ;o)

I like the sky and the reflection in the water.A peaceful place..

Thank you so much Corinna... on a summer night it really is a peaceful place :o)

Very moody and atmospheric

Thank you so much Doug :o)

Photo insolite.....

Merci Nadine :o)

Þó að álverið sé ekki fallegt hefur þér tekist að gera það fallegt...:þ)

Takk kærlega Kristinn... það stendur á svo fallegum stað að það mátti reyna :o)

Virkilega flott mynd :) Ég var að selja mína fyrstu mynd um daginn og það var einmitt af álverinu :)

Frábært! Til lukku með það! :o)
