Fjalla Fegurð
Mountain Beauty. This features the distinctive mountain point, Hraundrangi, in Öxnadalur, in the north of Iceland. This mountain, as well as the abandoned house, Bakkasel, are familiar to travelers along the Ring Road on the way to Akureyri. To those of us who live in the north, these landmarks are reminders that we are almost home.
My classroom looks out to the sunrise, and in the winter months the sky brightens around 11am. On rare occasions we can see glitský, or rainbow colored stratospheric clouds, and when we do I have to take a moment to appreciate them.
The flowers were harvested in the north, in October before the frost sets in.
A reminder to keep going, that the light comes back.
