** street is art.
.
the world’s northernmost capital.
moody, windy, cold, often dark.
that is why they call the city ‘Greykjavik’.
so let’s add some pretty little colors.

colorful street art certainly brightens things up: everything is full of graffiti.

watch out, Banksy, better be prepared 😉

** nature forms and defines **
desaturated, green, yellowish, dusty, mossy. forms and figures.
textures over textures. stunning landscapes. unspoiled nature.
.
.
culture, tradition, lifestyle … everything is connected and derived from what forms Iceland.
móðir náttúra – mother nature.

enjoy the coffee culture in one of the nice little cafés.
talk to other people. raise a glass of craft beer with someone.

the list is endless. so is inspiration.
