Hnjótur

The late Egill Olafsson, farmer at Hnjótur in remote Patreksfjörður, accumulated quite a collection of old boats, airplanes and lots of other stuff- a typical pastime on isolated farms in the West Fjords (others had loads of old cars, built Eiffel towers from scrap metal etc...). This collection has been turned into a museum with cafè, a welcome lunch stop for tourists on their way to the bird cliffs of Látrabjarg.
(I couldn't find any information about the sculpture which from the other side shows the stylized prow of a boat with the cross on top)

Such a beautiful statue..........it looks very graceful and I like the patina on the metal. You've placed it perfectly in the frame............and the background is quite stunning!

Two super PiPs as well..............I really like the colourful houses and boats in the first one, and again, a fantastic background. The aircraft remains in the second PiP are fascinating and you've captured them in super detail. I'm guessing the US Navy didn't want their 'plane back :-))

An excellent series Gudrun!
