A day in Aðaldalur

Good weather, no plans so why not call Halldór and ask if there would be a river crossing today?

In fact there was and so we took a drive to Helluland to wait there for the group. We used the opportunity and took a few pics of young geldings there. They really look promising and I'm looking forward to maybe get one or another of them to training next autumn.

After a quick coffee we looked for a place to take pics and after finding it had to wait quite some time for the group to come. Seems like things didn't go as smooth as Halldór had wished for, but in the end I got a few very nice shots of horses and rider.

Eveningvisit

Whilst Ingólfur was helping Bensi with the hay, I used the time to visit our foals at the neighbourfarm. Of course I had my camera with me and tried to get nice pics of these little monsters.

That's in fact not that easy as the moment they spot you, they come and try to get a good scratch. I think, they'd love to have us with a good brush around all the time at the moment as they are loosing their babyfur and that's rather itchy...

Well, in the end they left me alone and I was able to take some pics.

Hope you like them.

Catch of the day

Now my brother's family's stay is nearly over. It has been a wonderful time having all of them here and I think the kids were able to experience a lot of things.

Early in the morning my brother entered the ship Soley ÞH-28 and went for his first trip as a fisherman with Jói, Ingólfur's brother in law. Think he had a lot to do and it was a big experience for him.

We of course had a close eye on them online and made it at the right time down to the harbour to check out the catch of the day. It was around 650 kg of fish they managed to get.

In the afternoon all of them got the possibility to ride a horse in the riding hall. That went well and everybody had a smile in his face afterwards.

Oh, not to forget! In the morning we got really nice visitors, Max and Lena. We went to see all our horses and had nice coffee afterwards.

Guests

We got visitors from Austria! My brother and his family are here and are going to stay for 2 weeks in Iceland. The weatherforecast isn't the best, but we are going to make the best out of it. For my nephew and niece it's their first stay here and I hope they'll enjoy it.

Due to this I won't be writing a lot here the next days! But I post some pics here from places we already have visited.

Photoworkshop

I just recently came home from my trip to Austria and spent a few days at Hùsavík before I went to a photoworkshop with Gígja Einarsdóttir at Þingeyrar.

When this workshop was advertised earlier this winter I thought about joining, talked to Ingólfur about it, thought a bit more and then I really was fast sending Helga an e-mail to enlist for it. I definitely do not regret going there!

It was 4 fantastic days with the probably best horsephotographer in Iceland at the moment. Gígja is doing a great job, had recently an exhibition in Copenhagen, which is going to move to the Worldchampionship for Icelandic Horses in Herning. You can take a glimpse at her work here.

We were 11 ladies and a guy taking part. It was an international group and the participants had a very different background in photography, but Gígja and Helgi took very good care of us, animated us to try new things and showed us how to finish the pics in Photoshop/Lightroom. Helga took care of all the delicious food for us and I think nobody was ever hungry during this workshop.

In the end all of us had to choose 3-5 pics to show to the others. It wasn't easy to choose from more than 2000 pics I took through these 4 days.

I'll put my favourites in an album for you to check out.

So if anybody here in Iceland is interested in getting pics of his/her favourite horse, just contact me. My friends in Austria/Europe maybe should contact Eva, who takes really good pics. Here you find her homepage.
