Memories Journal #21

During my Iceland trip, I took the opportunity to drive my daughter to Snæfellsness peninsula. This narrow strip of land is just northwest of Reykjavik. We left at about 7am to make the all day road trip to see places very few get to see. We continuously stopped to take in the remote and serene landscape. It was like being in another time and dimension I recall. On the northern side of the peninsula is Kirkjufell mountain, one of the most photographed mountain in Iceland. It has a dramatic shape, and was incredible to see up close. I had planned a long stop here with lunch, pictures, and just to be in the moment at such a beautiful place. I even brought my skechbook, but even that seemed like time wasted in just being in the presence of this mountain. I took many photos that day-March 29, 2017-another unforgettable day in fulfilling a dream come true.

Assateague National Seashore National Park

I've never been to this national seashore, but it's on my list to someday visit. I imagine a 4th of July long weekend walking these beaches, witnessing wild ponies, admiring the lighthouses, eating seafood. This is Tom's Cove and is replicated from the National Park website. This is a bookmark size painting laminated, and is my 'window' view from where I sit to work so that I may remember that life isn't all work. Painted in watercolor.
