Upon hearing a great piece of music, my music guru Ramashreya Jha “Ramrang” was fond of quoting Kabir: mann mast hua tab kyon bole? (Why open your mouth when the mind is filled with bliss?) I am often at a loss for words in the midst of Iceland‘s landscape and Kabir serves me well there….
The ancient parsonage and farm of Holt in Önundarfjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland. It was the birthplace of Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson (1605-1675). In the mountains behind the church is what is known as a hanging valley (I shall have more on that in a future post).
A weathered farmhouse in the Eyjafjöll region of south Iceland, interpreted in black-and-white and colour.
