Rajan,

Again, I like how you always put the buildings with a great attention to scale to the natural backdrops. Man, I wish I could spend a year in iceland :P


I've always wanted to ask, a lot of the buildings you shoot in iceland are always so kept well in terms of exterior paint. Do they just paint their buildings ever year? because it doesn't seem to have any wear and tear at all.

Jason,

Thank you for your comments.

This particular church is especially well maintained since it is a national heritage site. You observed correctly that by and large the structures in Iceland are looked after and keep well in the clean Icelandic air. You do find the occasional decrepit house especially in the more remote areas and they make for fine photographs.

These are very nice. Thank-you for sharing. I am curious about the three buildings in the back. It appears the roofs are grass. Correct? Then, are there bushes growing between them or something else. I know this is kind of random, but those buildings caught my eye. Thanks.

Dave, those three are ersatz reconstruction of turf houses which were the traditional dwellings of the Icelanders until the modern era. It was a harsh life in those days.
