Sun Voyager Reaching for the Sky – Reykjavík Iceland

Bathed in the brilliant Icelandic light, the Sun Voyager (Sólfar) sculpture rises proudly along Reykjavík’s waterfront, its sweeping steel forms reaching toward the heavens. Created by artist Jón Gunnar Árnason, this remarkable work of art is a modern ode to exploration, discovery, and the human spirit’s endless pursuit of adventure.

Set against a radiant blue sky and the tranquil waters of Faxaflói Bay, the Sun Voyager evokes both a Viking ship and a dream vessel sailing toward the unknown. Its mirrored curves reflect the light and clouds above, creating a breathtaking fusion of sculpture, sky, and sea.

In this photograph by Wayne Moran, the composition draws the viewer’s gaze upward—mirroring the sculpture’s own ascent toward the divine. It’s a tribute not only to Iceland’s proud maritime heritage but also to the boundless wonder that drives us to explore the world around us.

A portrait orientation shot taken from one side of a river flowing through a big city. We're looking across flat, green-toned water at a high, sheer bank of bricks and columns, all reflected on the rippled water's surface, that support a road with buildings behind it. In the distance there are some modernist tower blocks but our focus is on the lower, wider building that sits behind the road that runs by the river. The architecture is art nouveau and brightly coloured in shades of green with bold yellow accents. The central part of the façade is a huge decorative arch formed from large, square, pale green tiles. The upper part of the arch interior is a fan-light arrangement with yellow and darker green petals fanning out and a clock mounted in the centre. The lower part of the arch is filled with glass windows split into three rows of ten rectangular panes. Similar window areas are to either side of this arch but with twelve panes across each, grouped into three groups of four and with the upper row arched. These areas are further flanked by square, thick stone columns, highly decorated with reliefs and fluted columns of their own.

Das Schwarz-Weiß-Foto zeigt die Fassade eines modernen Gebäudes. Die Architektur ist geprägt von klaren Linien und geometrischen Formen. Die Fassade besteht aus einer regelmäßigen Anordnung großer Fensterflächen, die in einem Raster angeordnet sind. Eine Reihe von gleichförmigen, rechteckigen Pflanzgefäßen steht vor dem Gebäude. An der linken Ecke ist ein Mann zu sehen, der sich im Bildausschnitt sehr klein darstellt, was einen Kontrast zwischen der Größe des Gebäudes und der Person erzeugt. Der Mann betrachtet heruntergebeugt die Inschrift auf dem Sockel einer kleinen Skulptur.

The facade consists of a regular arrangement of large windows arranged in a grid pattern. A row of uniform, rectangular planters stands in front of the building. In the left corner, a man can be seen, who appears very small in the frame, creating a contrast between the size of the building and the person. The man is bent over, looking at the inscription on the base of a small sculpture.
