So the picture. I think it's my favourite of the many pictures I took in Iceland; it was taken on a night shoot on the golf course behind the residency building. The building I was staying in was out in the suburbs and the suburbs of Reykjavik have a strange otherworld feel to them (feeding into my fantasies about living on a terraformed Mars).
The sprinkler system had come on (as if to provide a useful metaphor for the excesses of the cheep credit/boom years) and was causing a thin mist to cover the golf course and hug the residency building (providing a metaphor for… oh lets say… the environment)
Ah yes, the beauty our species can create by combining the mundane, the clearly unsustainable and the pointless.
