Lava Fields Forever

 Now the story can be told.

My trip to Iceland was arranged so that I could work on a new man made hot springs spa.This trip, during the raging COVID-19 pandemic, was only made possible with a signature and letter from the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs. I arrived in Reykjavik in August of 2020.At the very outset I was hypnotized by the landscape. The cab ride from the airport to Reykjavik proper was my first look at the moss encrusted lava fields, a beautiful alien landscape unlike anything I've ever seen.I managed to escape a full lock down in the flat that was rented for me and got to work at the, then top secret, Sky Lagoon. The job was a detailed duplicate of Icelandic lava flow formations that needed to match the color, textures and lichen/moss growths in such a precise way it could fool native Iclanders. No easy task!

During the time I was working on the Sky Lagoon I had the opportunity to visit some of Iceland's beautiful locations. It was enjoyable and a necessity to do this in order to better understand the Icelandic landscape and lava formations.
