The turquoise water at Sigölduglúfur results from all the silica it absorbs as it seeps from the hydroelectric reservoir and through the lava fields before emerging here. #photography #smartphone #landscape#Iceland

More puffins, anyone? I caught one in flight here. Puffins are not graceful fliers. They launch, it seems, using sheer determination. Imagine a penguin flapping so hard and so fast that it lifts off. Something like that. Puffins may be cute, but they have grit. #photography#Iceland #bird #puffin

I felt motivated this morning to revisit my photo catalog from Iceland, including re-touching some edits that were lost to an older computer years ago. This is my new spin on an old photo of Kirkjufelfoss from 2019.

"Fuglabjarg" is a great literal and metaphorical word, but this piece on Iceland's geographic names becoming obsolete because of climate change is really sad. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/opinion/iceland-climate-change.html

#Iceland tested a reduced workweek 2014-2019:
”A pair of trials covering 1.3 per cent of the Icelandic workforce revealed that slashing weekly hours led to better employee #wellbeing, with less stress and burnout, while #productivity stayed the same or improved. The positive results sparked union pressure in Iceland, and now 86% of Icelandic workers either work shorter weeks or have the right to ask to do so.“
