On the top of the town, a photo from Snaefellsnessysla, Vesturland

Photographer's Note

Once again Stykkishólmur, one of the coziest towns in Iceland.

This is a view of the harbour and the lighthouse you have already seen in my previous photos.

Stykkishólmur is situated in the western part of Iceland, to the north of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. It is a center of services and commerce for the area. Most of the people make their living from fishing and tourism. A ferry goes over the Breiðafjörður to the West Fjords (Vestfirðir).

one of the coziest towns in Iceland.

I couldn't agree more!
It has the most wonderful of wonderful pub/café/bar that has the most wonderful hot chocolate! :D
You have chosen a wonderful POV for this harbour and the lighthouse :D but for some reason the picture is quite unsharp or then there is something strange going on with a sort of fog in front, or something. I can't quite figure out what it is....
Another fun idea with this view might be to pan slightly to the right and get both the lighthouse and the statue of sorts of the fishing boat on the right. I don't know if it would be a stretch, but if I were there I'd certainly Love to head out and have a try at it with you :D

Thanks for sharing!
All the best,
Julia
