This Country just intrigues me to no end amigo! I grew up in Iowa in the late 1940's to 1958 and I loved the cold and as a child yes the snow!
Serving 2 years in Vietnam's horrendous heat and humidity turned me "off" to heat and humidity. My body rebels against our summers here in Mary-land.
I live to be an "explorer" in my next life!
I vision myself living here. Not to happen though....
WONDERFUL compositions!
How does YOUR body handle the switch from Goa to Iceland?

Amigo Dan: The human body is a remarkable instrument and learns to adapt. I had lived in Colorado, so the cold wasn’t unfamiliar. But Iceland is unlike any place in the US. Some parts of the US are colder, but this is the sub-Arctic, a rock in the middle of the N Atlantic Ocean, laid bare to the elements. Its geography & latitude bring their own ordeals: violent shifts in weather (a gift to photographers for the drama they summon, though one can never be sure a priori what awaits) and relentless winds. Winters descend with long, dark nights that the body never truly accustoms itself to, and many Icelanders struggle through those months of little daylight. So while God giveth, He also taketh.

Thanks amigo! My "body clock" would get "cornfused" with the daylight issue but the temps..no way! Winds? The SE Asia monsoon season had some violent winds with "wind shearing downpours of rain"! I welcomed them! I sleep all Winter with 2 windows open and ceiling fan ON!
Thanks amigo!
