Nestled in the southernmost region of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula sits Búðir (Búdir), a small hamlet made up of a couple old buildings, a hotel and a solitary church. Long ago, Búðir was once a prosperous commercial and fishing village and one of the Snæfellsnes’ most active trading posts. Remnants of a bustling port throughout the […]
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was one of my favorite movies of 2013, so during our trip in Iceland we paid homage to it by visiting one of its film locations. While the story takes the audience through various countries and adventures, many of the scenes were shot in Iceland. There are locations all […]
Hallo! I hope the winter has been treating you warmly. Our family Christmas trip has come and gone and leading up to our departure I was all kinds of nervous and excited. It was my first time visiting Europe, and my mom planned our entire trip, so aside from a few key locations here and […]
Autumn has settled in here in Washington. Already the golden leaves are turning and falling, and with it the rain and clouds have made their way back home. I always say Winter is my favorite season (because of the snow and how quiet it gets), but is that really true? Autumn just feels like home. […]
Today was especially hot, and as soon as I opened the car door to a rush of hot air I immediately regretted wearing jeans. It’s wildflower season in Mt Rainier, so my mom and I spent this Saturday driving around as a late birthday present for her. We had a couple stops on our list, […]
A long time ago I bought a Konica Acom-1 and did a test roll of film but never took it out of my camera. Then I bought an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic on ebay for $24 back in 2017 and let both of those collect dust for a few more years. At the start of 2019 […]
Spring is here and with it the cherry blossoms have settled into their full bloom, with the tulips right around the corner. It’s always exciting trying to chase the blooms of everything I want to see, and this year I’m hoping to try something new! My memories from elementary school are relatively vivid, but I’d […]
Standing proudly at the southwestern tip of Washington are two lighthouses: Cape Disappointment and North Head. The former, lit in 1856, was the very first lighthouse in the state, and remains active to this day. The latter, built in 1897, was built due to complaints by mariners that Cape Disappointment was obstructed by the headland […]
♫ “February Air” – LIGHTS Mustard has always been a “taboo” color for me, despite being a huge fan of it. One of my mentors told me that I didn’t look good in yellow while I was trying on a jacket, and I took that to heart. Last year I decided I didn’t care if […]
It seems like it snows more often in February than any other month of the year here. I’ve been dying to get more photos of snow before spring comes, so I wasted no time going to the park. 🙂 I say that, but… I did have some trouble getting out off the house lol! Nibbles […]
