Monday evenings...

What are they for if I may ask? Just for nothing but sitting on my balcony writing something stupid in my blog while drinking some cheap red wine after eating a hamburger from my barbeque and watching the candle light burn down.

I’m not sure if this is the real life but anyway this is what I’m doing now and I don’t think it’s bad at all. Well I might accept some company but private is not always the worst thing in the world. At least not when it is me that don’t have the company.

There is jus one problem. I think it is starting to rain on my neck... and even also in to my glass of red wine. And that drinkt didn't need that!

and....

You Should Learn Japanese

You're cutting edge, and you are ready to delve into wacky Japanese culture. From Engrish to eating contests, you're born to be a crazy gaijin. Saiko!

What Language Should You Learn?

But... why on Earth did it have to start raining now when I was having such a great time. Well have to go inside!

My Self Portrait Project (SPP)

Yesterday evening I was sure something would fall down to my head!

desperate

This was actually done while I was doing some self portraits yesterday evening. But I’m trying to make one self portrait per day now.

nothing but the head

You can see the rest of them in my Flickr Self Portrait Project (SPP) set.

The old fashioned icelandic wollen sweater in fashion again!

It is so strange. The new fashion for girls and women in iceland is this old fashioned sweater made of icelandic wool. Well it is a little bit redisigned but it is still the old ancient sweater that was considered the most off fashion perhaps one or two years ago.

And this is only female fashion. I'm supposed to wear fleece or something made of plastic if I'm outside in the cold. At least those redisigned sweaters are not for men!



Those photos are of normal icelandic girls watching gaypride yesterday. I think there where hundreds or thousands of icelandic girls andyoung women wearing this old traditional sweater. And it is a pity I think those beautiful sweaters seem to be designed just in some women style. At least only women seem to wear them.

A man doesn't usually wear a sweater like this only if he is doing some rough job outside, fishing, going horse riding or hiking some mountains. And mos commonly he doesn't wear clothes like this in those activities either because he would most likeley wear some fleece made of plastic!

hiking

I’m back from a short hiking trip in my strange country. It was a great hiking tour around a lake called Langisjór (The Long Sea). The tour is around 50 km and we were 2 and a half day hiking.

some of my photos from last week - not so good?

Last week I was trying to take some photos to put in a challenge on DPC where the subject was “long exposure”. I did not submit any photos to the challenge since I wasn’t too sure about them. But here are some of them and the last one is just crazy funny I think!

First there were the fast flying ducks on the pool in Reykjavík:

Then I went to Hvalfjörður, a fjord close to Reykjavik and there were some birds. I liked the colors in this one and perhaps I should have submitted this one to the challenge.

But I didn’t get so many comments or favs on it from other users on Flickr so I thought it wasn’t so good at all.

But the funny shot is from last night - totally different and still so funny. The crazy man with a hat in his bed. And yes, it’s me!
