All the Pretty Horses - Part 2

More of the beautiful creatures I encountered on my journey through Iceland. I bet that their hair is a lot thicker and longer (like the fella in the second photograph from the top) now that the cold weather is setting in.
I also wanted to announce that my Black Friday sale has begun. All items are 20% off until December 3 in my Etsy Shop and December 8 in my Eye Poetry Shop. To my American friends, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

All The Pretty Horses

These beautiful creatures are yet another reason to love Iceland. There are approximately 80,000 Icelandic horses in a country with a human population of 300,000. It is not uncommon to see many scenes of horses standing in front of awe-inspiring landscapes, bathed in magical northern light ... that is, until you return home and you realize how very special it was. horse photos

A Foggy Encounter in a Green Land

"Iceland is green and Greenland is ice." So how did Iceland get it's name? Flóki Vilgerðarson was one of the first Norwegian Vikings to settle the country. After a good summer, but having poorly prepared for winter and desperate for the arrival of spring, he climbed a high mountain for a better view of the surroundings. In the distance, he saw a fjord full of ice. He called the fjord Isafjordur (Icefjord) and gave the country a new name 'Island' (Iceland). 

2014 Calendars

2014 desk calendars are ready and shipping! I have created a super special section in my Etsy shop just for them. The pages are 5x7" in size and the images are 5x5". The calendar pages are printed on the same photographic paper as my fine art prints. The only exception is the Eye Poetry calendar. It is printed on 15 pt heavy card stock for those who prefer more rigid pages.
If you prefer a wall calendar, I have created two of them. They measure 13.5" x 19" and are printed on premium paper with either a gloss or linen finish. They are available for ordering on Lulu.com: 2014 Wanderlust Wall Calendar 2014 Paris Wall Calendar

Horsing Around

In spending a few days with these horses, I had the chance to observe these beautiful creatures in their more playful moments. I thought I would share these in honor of World Animal Day.
