When we page through the seven hundred photographs we published in September and October here at Icelandic Times, a gentle surprise washes over us. So much unfolded in those short months: the heaviest snowfall in living memory blanketing Reykjavík in deep hushed white, interrupted by spells of exceptionally fine weather—crisp, clear days that felt like a gift.
From this season of contrasts, ten photographs rise to the surface—the ones we cherish most, the ones that truly capture the good autumn. Moments that came, lingered briefly, and then—of course—passed.
We forget them so swiftly, letting them fade into the flow of days. But the camera does not. It captures and holds them steadfastly. Most photographs, it turns out, enjoy a remarkably long life—quiet guardians of those fleeting joys, ready to remind us that even in a season of extremes, there was a good autumn worth remembering.
