the structure
Do you have one of these structures? I imagine that you do; I imagine that everyone has one! Just think of the thing(s) it does! And how useful it could be!!
But if you don’t have one, please tell me. I happen to know where there’s one that is not being used….

Do they deliver?

Yes. If the delivery is going someplace interesting where I – I mean the delivery person – can take photos…

Love that ‘grid pattern’ juxtaposed between the clouds and the subject, Melinda.

Thank you, Frank.
I spent a minute or two getting everything lined up. I was standing in knee-high weeds and hoping the snakes were still hibernating….

I guess that makes you a ‘real’ photographer … the things we do to make a picture.

Being such an admirer of elegant mechanical engineering as I am, I am utterly speechless. What an excellent job it did in scribing the lines of clouds in the sky. It is obviously a professional edition of the fabled cloud rake.

This is indeed an example of elegant mechanical engineering and I am glad you noticed it. And here’s the really interesting part – being a professional edition of a cloud rake is actually its side hustle! Its main job is…well, I don’t have to tell YOU what it is!!

It is an absolutely amazing place. The only time not to go is in the spring – April May. Other than that you can’t go wrong. The light in the winter is beyond compare. If you go in the winter, get a guide. Driving is really tricky and Iceland in the winter. Snow, ice, and wind gusts up to 50 miles an hour. I can recommend a guide.

My friend who was there just before your visit was stranded for a day or two somewhere out from Reykjavík because storms closed the road. But her photos!
Were you in a tour group, or did you have a personal guide?

Group tour with Gary Hart and Don Smith both Northern California landscape photographers. As you know, I’m not strictly landscape but it was good to be with people I knew and with an Icelandic guide who did a splendid job. I would recommend this guide in a heartbeat. Not only does he know exactly where to go for great shots, he is a superb photographer, and a nice guy, but he has a sense of humor that you would immediately latch onto.

She’s quite a photographer – we met about six years ago in a class at the Santa Fe Workshops and have kept in touch.
