Gone

Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. (Camera: Kodak Brownie Starmeter; Film: Kodak Ektar 100)

This isn’t there anymore. This magnificent, twisting rock column once towered some 8 to 10 feet high, located north of the Bridge Between Continents. When I visited the site last week, I found to my dismay that the column had tumbled to the ground, no doubt a result of the recent flurry of tectonic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Sad. It really was a remarkable sight. Now it’s just a collection of debris and a reminder that nothing lasts forever.

First roll with this unassuming ’90s point-and-shoot. So far, pretty impressed.

This isn’t here anymore. Up and down the Okanagan Valley, fruit trees are being ripped up and replaced with wine grapes.
