Hnjótur

Hnjótur
The late Egill Olafsson, farmer at Hnjótur in remote Patreksfjörður, accumulated quite a collection of old boats, airplanes and lots of other stuff- a typical pastime on isolated farms in the West Fjords (others had loads of old cars, built Eiffel towers from scrap metal etc...). This collection has been turned into a museum with cafè, a welcome lunch stop for tourists on their way to the bird cliffs of Látrabjarg.
(I couldn't find any information about the sculpture which from the other side shows the stylized prow of a boat with the cross on top)

La belle sculpture pourrait vouloir sensibiliser au trou dans la couche d'ozone
Les images sont magnifiques avec une ambiance très particulière
Excellente information aussi, Gudrun

Die Bauern in Westmecklenburg sammeln gern alte Traktoren und Motorräder. ;-)
Die Blume würde ich mir aber auch hinstellen.

Gudrun club has replied to Max Biobauer club
Bauern sammeln glaube ich überall gerne, vor allem, wenn sie viel Platz haben;-) In der Ecke dort oben waren/sind sie im WInter oft lange abgeschnitten, da musste man sich irgendwie beschäftgen.

Such a beautiful statue..........it looks very graceful and I like the patina on the metal. You've placed it perfectly in the frame............and the background is quite stunning!

Two super PiPs as well..............I really like the colourful houses and boats in the first one, and again, a fantastic background. The aircraft remains in the second PiP are fascinating and you've captured them in super detail. I'm guessing the US Navy didn't want their 'plane back :-))

An excellent series Gudrun!

Thank you so much, Keith! In Iceland you can see quite a few relics from WWII, Nissen huts have been repurposed as barns, remains of aircraft are just decorative- Iceland was called the "aircraft carrier in the North Atlantic";-)

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
Thanks for the information Gudrun. I read somewhere that the conditions in Iceland were perfect for slowing down the decay of old aircraft, vehicle etc.
9 months ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
That's interesting, I should have thought the humidity (lots of rain) accelerates decay but maybe it's the cold that slows it down.

Danke vielmals, Uwe! Die Leute wohnen da extrem abgelegen, vor allem im Winter sind sie oft abgeschnitten, deswegen gab's da auch massive Landflucht.

Gudrun club has replied to Annemarie club
How cool, you obviously visited Látrabjarg! I have only seen one other photo of the sculpture online so maybe it really was temporary.

Gudrun these images are fabulous. What a wonderful landscape. I love the sculpture, - to be it is like a bud opening up to show it's inner beauty. Great skies also.

Thank you so much, Carol! Ir's one of the remotest regions in Iceland and many people have left because life can be hard and isolated. But the landscape is glorious.

Gro0en Dank, Tanja! Im Sommer kommen da Leute vorbei, im Winter ist's sehr einsam- dann haben die sich die Zeit mit so Zeugs vertireben;-) Solche Landschaften bringen einen ganz eigenen Schlag Menschen hervor, das hält nicht jeder aus!
