Látrabjarg cliff birds

Látrabjarg iceland westfjords

Látrabjarg, Iceland (June 2019)

This was one of the most remarkable places I’ve ever been to. Birds were everywhere. I was looking for puffins when I took today’s photo. There are some in the photo, but they aren’t very easy to see. I think the birds that are easy to see are black-legged kittiwake. Correct me if I’m wrong.

After taking this photo I turned around to find these two just 10 feet or so from me.

Saurbæjarkirkja – June 2019

Not to be confused with “Saurbæjarkirkja í Eyjafirði” which is a different church over 500 km away. This one is in the Westfjords, near Rauðisandur, where horrific murders were committed in the early 19th Century on what is now a deserted farm (Sjöundá).

Ingjaldshóll Church

Ingjaldshólskirkja above the Nootka lupine (June 2019)

Built in 1903, this may be the oldest concrete church in the world. In June, it has the prettiest road to a church in the world IMO.

Kælan Mikla uc theatre

Kælan Mikla @ UC Theatre (March 2025)

Not quite fitting into the “metal” genre, Kælan Mikla still probably appeal to many metalheads. I thought they were fantastic–a very moving experience.
