more random thoughts

Walking around the city I see things very spontaneously, which is why I'm glad I don't have to remember to bring my camera, as it's always with me. This is the entrance to the Reykjavik Police station. I like the hideous seventies colors, but the rigid structure.

From the morning walk with Oskar, the grass blowing in the sun, and the cool shade beneath the tree trunks attracted me.

The late night sunset reflecting off the water, flowers in the foreground.

I love this one. I really want a print of it, even though Agust dislikes it. This is the view from our lower doorway, and I love the bright sunlight in the background, and cool shadows in the foreground, with lots of texture inside. The blue and green contrast also pleases me.

The morning bike ride to work with beautiful clouds and strong building lines.

I was really interested in the bright building with interesting geometry, but then I saw the walker and timed it so he ended up in the center. I like it more now.

I like the greys with sparse green of this one, the right is life and vibrant, the left is rough and unfinished.

The twin green trees behind the basketball hoop seemed very structured. I liked it enough to take several framings, one closer, which I also liked, but I feel seeing the tree tops helps the image.

This was a research shot for a later shoot that I'll post in the future, but I liked the soft shading and mood of the image.

This woman was knitting a cover for a tree. I don't like it as a photo as much as I just like it for a document.

This image was interesting for the three very icelandic iconic things. The flag in flowers, the building in the background, and sculpture to the left.

The sunset was so beautiful over the pond, that I had to grab it. This is a two image panoramic. Lots of detail, but slightly noisy full size.

Not very sure what drew me to this, but I think it was the structure and the green being lit by sunset light.
