Day 2: Familiarise with the place

The cottage

Before coming here, I thought the cabins are shared among artists. Then they told us we each have our own cottage to live in for the 2 weeks of residency, what a nice surprise!

Adventure began here! These are the cottages for us to stay.

I was lucky and get the biggest one with a loft.

Nice chill-out area

The loft where the bed was.

There are many windows on the sides, natural lights came in during the day.

Unlimited pictures of the nature.

Neighbours

The farm

We were taken on a hike to see the farm, a 4 hour walk. We saw the lava field, moss, sandy mountain and a lake!

We followed the route from Fljótstunga to the lake.

Plenty of berries along the way, can just pick them up and eat them.

Lava field

My lens is just not wide enough.

Sandy mountain

These are like corn flakes

Stones, mountains, glacier, clouds… there are all sorts of shape and colours here.

Arriving the lake

Got back to the cottage, and saw the goats on the field.

In the cottage

I am curious to see how the view changed during the day, so I set the camera in the cottage and took a time lapse.

Northern lights

Before coming here, I saw a video of Aurora Borealis taken in the farm, and I went to classes to how to take photos of stars, nights and aurora. At around midnight, I heard strange wind outside, almost like people screaming. So I peeped out from the window, and lights were dancing.
