Ólafsfjördur

It brightened up today, and I was able to see my surroundings and take in the landscape - arriving in the overcast wet and dark last night was a contrast to today, which gave the feeling of having been transported as if suddenly into this place, although I had fully experienced the journey here.

Ólafsfjördur is quite a small town, with a population of around 800. It is simple in that there is one of everything or not at all. If you can´t find what you need in the supermarket, you do without. Walking around the town, the sense of contrast is echoed in the way it seems as if the town is placed in its location, right up in front of the mountains behind it - the colours of the houses stark and sharp against the dark green solid mass.
