This is a view facing northwest from Ytri Tunga (Seal Beach) toward the 601-metre-high mountain Þorgeirsfellshyrna, the name of which roughly translates into Thor’s-spear-mountain-peak. The leftmost building sitting on a hillock is Kirkjuhóll Lighthouse. So far as I know, the foreground stream is unnamed. (Click on the image for a full-res version.)
My reviews of the nifty Nikon AF600 can be found here and here.
Shot from near Seaquest State Park with Silver Lake in the foreground. Saint Helens is the lump on the horizon left of centre. (Click on the image for a full-sized version.)
Cut steel plate sculpture by artist Arthur Ragnarsson. The work commemorates the women (including the artist’s mother and grandmother) who worked tirelessly during Sigló’s 20th-century herring heyday, which lasted until the stock collapsed in the 1960s. The memorial sculpture was inaugurated 2023.
This quaint little house was built in 1900 and 126 years later (a few months after this picture was taken) was demolished. No doubt it’ll be replaced by a multi-unit people-storage box or supportive housing for the wealthy. No one is to blame, but there’s much to lament.

A quasi-panoramic photo comprised of a pair of sequential frames shot with the Olympus Pen half-frame camera. (Click on the image for a full-res version.)
Shout out to Patrick Doyle (a.k.a. SprocketHoles), one of my favourite YouTubers. He always manages to find a reason to include a deer or two in his videos. Luckily I didn’t have to travel to Ireland (where Patrick lives) for this shot — the deer was lazing on my front lawn.
The Grána fish meal and oil factory is part of Siglufjörður’s fascinating Herring Era Museum and worth the time if you ever find yourself in this part of northern Iceland.
