Weather changes in Álftafjörður

Let There Be Light

When driving around the country at this time of year, the mind tends to conjure up images,  as happened when the family had business in the Westfjords last week. It is the light that changes everything. Here are a few moments that had to be captured for you to see. There was rarely much time to react—the light changed so quickly, one had to act swiftly to capture moments on film that passed, and some even did before the photographer managed to click. It is also fascinating and amusing, the pictures that were not captured—the moment that got away.
