My day 4 entry in the 365 Photos Challenge. My entry today is a photo of a sunrise in my little bay, Fossvogur, Iceland.
I’m so lucky to live by the sea, in a little bay. Even tho it’s in the middle of the city. The Raykjavík’s area coastline is jagged with many little bays so there are places that are more like living in a small fishing village than a city. And I live by one of them.
So ones on a morning walk when the sun was coming up. I lay down behind lyme grass that grows on the beach to watch the sunrise thru the grass. What a wonderful serin morning, even tho I knew that the highway morning traffic was not so far away. Still, it was almost like being somewhere in nature far away from all city life. Just my, the sun rising behind the lyme grass, and the birds on the beach.
Who can ask for anything more?
Here are the rules on the 365 Photos Challenge.
love the photo composition and writings!!!! bay
I love photos of sun captured behind some plants or trees. It has a different charm. And Iceland is one country that is in my bucket list.
Thank you. Let me know if you ever come to Iceland; we could have a cafe or beer together. Always nice to meet people in person that I only get acquainted with on the veb.
Awww how kind of you! I would surely do that — maybe ask you as well to teach me phrases in your language that I can use to haggle hahaha
I can picture you there, easily, Bragi! I had to look up ‘lyme grass’; it transpires I’m familiar with it, but not the name. Very nice shot 🙂
Thank you, Norman. I’m so used to the Icelandic name which is Melgresi, Mel(ur) means sandy or rocky please, that I had to look it up to. Don’t know how familiar it is elsewhere. It doesn’t grow except in harsh environment and loves sand best. Strang’s grass that like sand with no soil. But it has been used in Iceland to regain soil where volcanos have covered land whit ash.
It is quite common here along the east coast among dunes and stony coastal areas. I don’t remember seeing it on the west (Atlantic) coast, but that may be down to my memory 🙂
Ye, it depends on the environment. Strange to say, the wors conditions, there will be more of them 🙂
