Iceland | January 2015 | Reykjavik Portrait Photographer

My current photo project, Crossing Lines | Finding Love, has started…and in Iceland! YAY!

The lovely couples I met for Crossing Lines were so kind. Actually, all Icelanders I met were very nice. They are so polite and helpful. If Iceland is on your "must visit" list, the only reason it should be crossed off is because you visited it! It's a "must see" kind of place.

Here are parts of Iceland, in no particular order. I was there for 5 days. All my time was spent in Reykjavik, except when we went out on tour in search of the northern lights. Although unsuccessful in our attempts to see the lights, the stars were quite lovely on both occasions!

Mi proyecto, Cruzando Lineas | Buscando Amor, ha comenzado…y en Islandia! YEI! Las parejas que entrevisté en Islandia para Cruzando Lineas son tan lindas. En verdad, todos los Islandeses que conocí. Son tan amables. Si Islandia está en tu lista de "lugares que conocer", que no se te pase!

Aquí tienen unas fotos de mi tiempo en Islandia. Estuve 5 días en Reykjavik. Solo salí de Reykjavik cuando me fui en tour a buscar la Aurora Boreal. Aunque nunca salieron completamente, ver la multitud de estrellas con todo y Júpiter, fue increíble!

ooxx,

Faint light from the Aurora Borealis.

La Aurora queriendo salir.

Chuck Norris? Yeah, that's right…as Puddy would say ;)

Hallgrímskirkja is a beautifully constructed church in Reykjavik. Definitely worth a visit.

Si van, no se les pase visitar Hallgrímskirkja. Es una iglesia muy bonita en el centro de la ciudad.

This photo is for any doggies looking at my blog :P

Esta es para mis fans que son perritos :P

Needless to say, it was a bit chilly there this time of year.

Si que hacía frío en enero.

I found it interesting that even though it was so cold, they still had outside seating available :)

Me da risa que aunque estuviera tan colgelado, ponían sus mesitas afuera :)

I can read the first one on the left! Heehee

Puedo leer la primera de la izquierda! Jiji

I just loved how the city is surrounded by these mountains.

Me encanta que la ciudad esta rodeada de estas montañas preciosas.

While we waited for the northern lights to appear, I grabbed a couple and snapped a pretty photo for them :)

Mientras esperaba la aurora, encountré a una pareja y les tomé una foto de recuerdo :)

I have never felt as safe anywhere as I did in Iceland. It was really nice!

I'm not sure if there was a baby in here or not but I was told by an Icelander that it is very safe there. So safe that police officers do not carry guns and you can leave your baby in its stroller outside a store.

De veras que nunca me había sentido tan segura en ninguna ciudad como me sentí en Reykjavik. Que agusto! No estoy segura si había un bebé o no en la carreola pero me dijo un Islandés que es tan segura la ciudad que la policía no traen pistolas y puedes dejar a tu bebé afuera de la tienda.
