Photo of the Week, Vol. 4

By Icelandic photographer Nokkvi Eliasson. I hadn't seen his site for several years but just found it again today. Eliasson's photos of abandoned farms in Iceland are just gorgeous, and ominous at the same time. Browsing these photos makes an excellent complement to my current reading of Halldor Laxness' Iceland's Bell. The eras are different, but the destitution is timeless.
