GUEST PHOTOGRAPHER: Bjarki Markússon
(The title word fé means sheep, and also money)
This photo is just so gorgeous and so appropos of today's wild weather on the Lava Rock somehow!

The story behind the photo. This picture was taken in September at Skeiðaréttum in Skeiða-og Gnúpverjahreppi. This is when all the sheeps are rounded up after the summer. Each sheep is marked with a tag and is then found by its owner. I took my kids there and I try to go every year. This picture is taken while I'm on my knees with my arms around my 3 year old daughter so the sheep don't run her down. The view is from her perspective.
I personally adore the composition and the colors in this shot, and knowing the stories about our guest photographer's photos always makes them even more alive.
Remember our Facebook Fan Page as well as our Twitter feed, both of which you can now easily follow by gently tapping the little blue circles up there in the right-hand corner : ) I try to find and post non-mainstream stuff there as well as images that don't make it onto the blog, so be sure not to miss out on your daily dose of Iceland Eyes.
