Mundane landscape

Photography
Being a passenger in a car driving long distances in Iceland can be a weird visual experience.. the landscape changes rapidly and you are likely to drive through all sorts of weather on the way.
- Mundane Landscape
Exploring the ordinary Icelandic landscape - "Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing."
