Iceland is a fascinating place with extreme weather conditions. The light is always changing as is the mood of the weather. It is not uncommon to have sun one minute and rain the next. The wind can blow hard and then quit moments later. The Arctic sea is always battling the coastline and creating wonderful clouds that come ashore and rise up over the mountains. It is a quiet and remote land where the everyday world vanishes. I enjoy quiet places where the land is in its nature state, showing no signs use. It gives time for reflection and a focus on the real values in life. It seems our technology has imprisoned us and we have become separated from fundamental things in life. In someways the technological world has become our real home and the nature world is foreign to us. Sadly I see most young people living their lives 12" from their nose staring into a screen focused on meaningless information. So much life and youth can be squandered with such constant distractions. I am not immune to the technology trap we live in, but thankfully I have a greater desire to explore the nature world and seek out the wonders that exist there.
