Flânerie with me in Reykjavík
A Photo Series: Observations of Reykjavík Life from a Passionate Spectator.
In June 2022, I traveled to Iceland for the first time. As you might imagine, the landscapes and natural wonders the island nation is known for were simply breathtaking. However, the time I spent in the city of Reykjavík awarded me with some of my favorite photos of the trip.
I am at heart an observer of life (I am a photographer, after all.) And I have discovered over the years, I have a passion for street photography, especially while traveling. To me, the glimpses into daily life of a city or town are the most honest representation of a culture, and far more authentic than the bustle of the local tourist spots.
These photos were taken in June of 2022, during The Midnight Sun that stretches from May until July north of the Arctic Circle. The idea of a golden hour lasting for hours was captivating. Sunset did indeed seem to go on forever. It was a photographer’s dream.
