Photo: Snowstorm, Kirkjebol, Iceland

On a detailed map of Iceland, you will see maybe 150 towns dotting its perimeter. But what you find, with very few exceptions, are a handful of buildings, population 3-5.

This photograph captures 90% of a town called Kirkjebol and its desolation, at least in winter, is a defining aspect of Iceland not often included in photos.

Fighting the wind to get back to our hotel room, i turned around for a moment and shot this picture as an attempt to record the wonderful feelings of helplessness it caused as i was buffeted to and fro from all angles.
