SEEDS 079. Unique West fjords!

30.08.2012

When we arrived in our work camp's location the weather was like in a horror or mystery movies. It was so foggy that our driver did not see the road. Then we did not have clue about 5th largest glacier next to our house. Sounds scary? ...we were excited. It was quite late when we arrived...

20.08.2012

Photomarathon. Known as the longest marathon in the world. It is a race. Officially. Demanding, but generous with benefits, if you decide to take a risk and participate.

Here I go once again, with, I hope, the most amazing report ever! Skriðuklaustur. That strange name for us at the beginning will always be in our memories now, it wouldn´t be fair if we forget about that place and that name. After a very long drive of 13 hours we arrived to the place...

It started very slowly. Doing nothing more than doing something. Being lazy, wandering around the town, starting to get the spirit of the place. Then artists and participants arrive and the mood changes into creative, bohemian, easy-going one, pulling you in, even without asking permission. It keeps...
