If you've been to Iceland, you've likely seen turf houses. They are timber structures with walls and roofs covered in turf. People have been building these houses since the 9th century when Iceland was settled. They were a response to the challenging climate and provided better insulation than...

From my trip to Iceland in May 2017, this is the iconic Black Church in the hamlet of Búðir on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Iconic because it's one of the most popular shooting destinations for photographers. Don't know why this tourist is peeking through the window, the church was open to tourists.

As you drive along the south shore of Iceland on Hwy #1, you pass over a great number of flood plains which make for interesting subjects to shoot. These “alluvial plains” or deltas result from the glacier meltwaters originating from the interior mountains and volcanos. Shot in the late...

Located in Budir (Búðir), Iceland on the Snaefellsnes peninsula, this small black church was built in 1703 and is a popular attraction for tourists. Shooting the church from a distance wasn't so easy with so many people around, so I decided to come back later in the evening to get an...

This famous black church is located in Budir, Iceland on the Snaefellsness peninsula. The church is surrounded by a rugged, barren field of lava rock. I have many shots of this church from all different angles, taken in different weather conditions, but I like this one the best.

Hi mates, I know it's been a while but I've been super busy plus had some nagging health issues. I just returned from a trip to Iceland, an excursion I've been planning for quite some time. For those who haven't visited this place, it's landscape photographer's dream. We drove from one end of...
