"Dreamz z z z"

Lodmundarfjordur which belongs to Borgarfjordur in East is a deserted fjord since 1973. Very isolated and only possible to get there by jeep in the summertime. A farmer which now is 83 years old lived there alone the last 5 years from 1968 to 1973. I met him there last summer. He is a very special man! When we walked by this old jeep near his ex home, he said while looking at it. "How stupid I was, not to maintain it" (rather late to find that out). At that moment I realised, that the jeep was living in his "Dreams". Image best viewed Large. Lodmundarfjordur for i eydi 1973. Kristinn Halldorsson bondi a Saevarenda var sidasti abuandinn i firdinum. Hann bjo þar einn sidustu fimm arin. Eg hitti hann a landareign hans fyrir tilviljun arid 2003. Hann er mjog serstakur madur og fara af honum ymsar sogur t.d. vardandi vorn a aedarvarpinu. Thegar vid gengum fram a gamla jeppann hans sem legid hafdi tharna i 30 ar, stadnaemdist hann eitt augnablik og virtist gefa sig minningunum a vald. Sidan sagdi hann eftirfarandi: "Agalega var eg vitlaus ad halda honum ekki vid" A thvi augnabliki vard mer ljost ad jeppinn lifir i draumi. Thanks in advance for your time.

waow , what a shot !!!!
one of my rare 7/7
have you a picture of the man AND the jeep ?
you could try a little less density on the shadow of the jeep ( it is too dark and without details on my screen that have a correct gamma)

Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful comments. Also thanks to all of you, who have rated "Dreams" I appreciate it very much.

 

To Pingu Pingu: I do have a correct gamma also and I decided to present the image this way. About your question of the man AND the jeep: Sorry, no. It´s almost impossble to photograph him

 

the men only: Yes, one from 2001

 

Thanks again. All the best, Baldur

The composition is just amazing. The clouds seem to eminate from the jeep. These are the types of images I really love. Great journey, great story, great photo!
