The farm of Nupsstadur is located in the south of Iceland and derives its name from Lomagnupur, which is one of the highest cliffs in the country.

From here travelers set off towards the east across the Skeidararsandur sands or Skeidararjokull glacier. For more than half a century farmer and post courier Hannes Jonsson (1880-1968) assisted travelers across the treacherous rivers on the sand until completion in 1974 of the circular road which makes now the tour of Iceland.

From here it was the longest journey in Iceland to a place where people could trade.

The oldest son of the factor always lives in the farm. He is centenary now and its quietude is disturbed only by the tourists who come to visit the farmhouses built in the 18th and 19th centuries as well as the adjacent small church dating from the 17th century.

France, you are putting them up faster than I can comment, and this one deserves a lot of comment. This is a great shot, color and detail are super but the composition is fantastic and the sky just caps it all off wonderfully. Great capture.

A very interesting site! I like that there are three of the fronts in the foreground. The warm grasses make an excellent foreground against the cool background.

Hi france, very diferente these houses covered with grass. The colors and light here are great. I think add more dark could result e nice contrast. See the WS.

Hello France,

Ces maisons islandaises m'ont toujouirs captivés ! Je trouve impressionnant la manière dont les habitants se sont protégés des conditions climatiques défavorables ! Ces petites batisses semblent fondus dans le sol ! De vrais maisons de Hobbits !
Ton images est un peu pixélisée mais cela reste correcte !
A+

Dominique

Bonjour France,

Quel qublime lieu ! Ta superbe composition et maitrise de cette photo le servent à merveille. Ca donne vraiment envie d'aller faire un tour en Islande pour avoir la chance de voir ce genre de chose !
Avec des formes globalement un peu plus ronde et hop ... on était chez les Hobits ;o)
Félicitation et merci beaucoup pour le partage.

Cordialement,
Damien.

A good composition France.I would like to know more about these buildings and their grass covered roofs.
It is unusual scenery.Good sharpness.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Bonjour France,

plus typique, c'est difficile! Superbe photo avec ce vert vif qui tranche avec le noir de la roche. Une réussite accompagnée d'une note instructive.

Bonne journée,

Loïc

What a charming, picturesque scene...
A photography that can smooth out your day..

A land of rural innocence... Perhaps ?

All the best, France

Bonsoir France,
To image est douce et très belle.
Les couleurs sont vives et agréables . Elles contrastent bien avec le ciel gris-bleu. Une image de plus qui donne envie de visiter l'Icelande.

Bonjour, France. C'est ce qu'on appelle s'adapter à l'environnement. Ces cabanes se fondent vraiment dans le paysage et l'herbe sur leur toit sert de bon isolant. La diagonale nous fait bien entrer dans l'image et nous mène vers le paysage volcanique qui se détache sur le ciel. Je ne sais pas combien de temps ces constructions tiendront encore le coup, mais elles ont l'air de traverser le temps.

Bonjour France,

Je rêve de découvrir l'Islande un jour, et tes incroyables photos démontrent avec impact qu'il s'agit bel et bien d'un coin de paradis pour la photographie!

Composition bien ficelée, couleurs vibrantes et paysage hallucinant.

Admirable!

André
