Sunday is also called funday, but won't be a funday on itself unfortunately, you need to wok on transforming it in one. So today i thought I'd mix some artworks from different exhibition, to see how it looks. This is not new, I used to do this and it's time to bring back this habit.
This is already a guilty pleasure of mine, if you can say that. The architecture of this building is something you can't neglect, especially if you're a photographer. It's nothing special for the simple visitor, but as a photographer, I don't think you can ignore those doorways lined up so nicely. Basically the scene is the same every time, but the light changes and that's what makes it special. The light comes from the roof windows and only lights the rooms that have windows. Let's see, am I the only one to see beauty in this?
Reynisfjara Beach
Reynisdrangar are basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal in southern Iceland. It is framed by a black sand beach that was ranked in 1991 as one of the ten most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world. In 2021 Reynisfjara was rated the 6th best beach in the world. source
You will need to ignore the reflections here and try to look only at the original photo. Look at how wonderful the place is. No wonder it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches. Obviously it's not the beach most of you would choose though. We discussed it in one of my previous posts, that thee beaches are not the loud music and sipping cocktail type of beach and it's dangerous too.
Extreme caution is to be exercised at all times while visiting Reynisfjara. Stay far back from the water's edge and heed all signs and warnings. Though the beach is stunning, please be careful as rogue waves are common and the current is very strong. The reason for these monster waves and strong current? The only land south of Vík and Reynisfjara is Antarctica. That’s a lot of unobstructed space for the Atlantic currents to travel before crashing into Iceland! source
So the beauty of the place comes with a danger warning too. This does not make me hesitant though. If you respect the warnings, the rewards can be amazing.
Litlanesfoss Basalt Columns
This is where my patience runs out and my tolerance level drops. I got used to always being forced to deal with reflection, but here I really regretted not being able to take a good shot. These basalt columns are most likely unique and gorgeous too. I've never seen anything like that till that moment. I hope you can still see the beauty of the place.
Ponta da Ferraria
Looks like this is the place where rocks break the waves, a perfect place to get some very cool photos and also to get totally wet, if you're not careful.
Gigjagjá, Yoda Cave
Yoda Cave, called Gígjagjá in Icelandic, is a natural wonder nestled in the heart of black sands and lava fields along Iceland's South Coast. The feature is named after the unusual resemblance its entrance has to Yoda from Star Wars.
Yoda Cave is open all year round and is free to enter. During the summer, the cave is an outstanding hiking destination that offers scenic views of the surrounding lava fields and Myrdalssandur black sands. source
This place is definitely one to place it on your bucket list. And maybe this is the photo that you can see a bit differently, if you make an effort. Just look at it as if the cave would open from the wall of the exhibition. It's a bit forced and you need to ignore the reflection of my head as well, but with a bit of will and imagination, it's doable. I'd love to visit this place on day and now I'm glad I got to see this exhibition and make notes here, in this post. I can look it up anytime I like as once on the blockchain, you can't delete it anymore.
Tree of Generations
As I promised, today I'm going to show you mixed art. After photography, let's continue with paintings. This is a wonderful painting of Attila Bajkó. It was painted on wood and it's not only an unusual one, but a lovely concept as well. I like the colors at root level and the nice light behind the tree. The spider web-like print in the lower right corner is a mystery though.
Inherent by István József Bugyi
I thought I'd leave this to you as it's the hardest to read in my opinion. Tell me what you see here :)
