    I’m loving the subject you choose for this photo. I could see this as a larger print hanging on the wall of anyone who appreciates photography.

      Thank you Patrick for kind words and thoughts. It´s a worst case scenario – the village of Grindavik on the south coast has been evacuated as it seems very likely that there will be a gigantic eruption right in the middle of it. Poor people had to leave their cats and canary´s behind, prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. We pray that science will proof wrong this time.
