Photography: Rural Iceland - Travel photography - "Raufarhöfn The worlds edge" Steemit exclusive!
Hi!
Me and my girlfriend recently were blessed enough to get an oportunity to go out of our hometown for a short 3 day visit to beutyful Raufarhöfn, North East Iceland. The gloomy lonelyness hanging over the many almost deserted fishing villages around the island is easily captured in the following pictures.
The picture above shows a house close to the one we stayed in, it´s sides rusted from seawind an weathers!
then this picture above is verry much in the original style of "eythorphoto" editing. :)
and here is a photo of the entrance to the village, as you can see there is a big "block" or apartment building wich was completely empty except for one apartment.
However the roadtrip wouldnt have happened without those two influentials, mr Siggi Ubersuber and Miss Andrea Vargas. who inveted me
and my beutyful now fiancé @amanda.yrr to tagalong with them literally to the edge of our island, and at times (for them it seemed at least towards the end of their lifes as they knew them before we met them. but more on that later in the week. as many of the photographs remain to be seen and the real identity of mr ubersuber might be revealed!
until then!

Cool! It's like, you did tour me a bit in that place! Nice image buddy! By the way? How is the weather in your place?
Hello kenny and thank you so much for your time and comment, i am really glad that you liked my photography, these towns have such atmosphere... i try to show to the veiwer who many come from big cities or countries with much higher populations than Iceland.
The weather fortunatly is getting better, summer has finally arrived, but only two weeks ago we still had some snow..., so you´d probably consider it cold... :) it´s around 0* degrees and a bit of sun, hehe.
have a great day buddy!
Zero degrees is too much! But that is better than 47 degrees heat! You might die in just few minutes! You can do heat easily but you can't do cold that easily here in United Arab Emirates.
Looking to your next blogs buddy!
Really nice photos! 😄 Have a nice Day.🌻
Thank you, i am verry glad that you liked my photography. :)
have a great day!
Hi @eythor-photo, nice to see your enjoyed country side. The place look quite empty, there might be not many people living. Mr. Siggi Ubersuber looks cool, you might have had good time and nice food.

You are absoloutly right my friend! the town of Raufarhöfn has 147 registered inhabitants. Like many other such villages around the island at least evry other house is uninhabited. and deteriorating. giving these "dead sleepy" towns atmosphere i am fascinated by and try to depict through my photography!
Oh my! Mr. Ubersuber will eventually get his verry own post. (i do have the photographs for it i can assure you, hehe however i´d like to get his further consent before)
