How do you capture and hold on to nothingness in a single frame shot? I have been trying to formulate the right set of words to describe my Icelandic transcendence, and yet I am still unable to. I figured I would try to get my point across in a much more fluid way by posting some photos. Words would be unsuccessful in this case, so I hope something visually stimulating would be more convincing.
Iceland is full of mysterious and hidden places so its hard not to find yourself on a personal scavenger hunt, either if its for “huldufolks” (hidden people, trolls) or volcanic craters or oddly shaped rock formations. The things to find are endless. The colors for your lateral geniculate to process are unlimited. Yet the people to meet are scarce. Two-thirds of the population (300,000 total) reside in the capital, so it is rare to come across a single soul outside of the city, making you feel ever bit secluded from the world. But that my friend is one of the greatest experiences of human existence. Some places I would recommend to escape would be Vatnajokull (southeast Iceland), Skogafoss + Seljalandsfoss (waterfalls), and Landmannalaugar.
