My town looks okay, for now (photos)

Things look a bit dire all over, but last week’s photography walk was a good one. This raven pair gave off strong “Statler and Waldorf commenting on passing hikers” vibes. I wonder why the river is called “Varmá” (literally “Warm River” in Icelandic)? So, during winter here in Hveragerði steam frosts on the plants in needle-like ice formations when it’s cold. I’m guessing this can happen wherever humidity and frost combine, but it gives the plant life next to the river a unique look. The smaller birds were also out and about this week here in Hveragerði. Redpolls, redwings, and blackbirds. Scenes around the river Varmá here in Hveragerði were genuinely picturesque this week. These photos are kind of the “leftovers”. Not bad photos, per se, but don’t work quite as well as I had hoped they would when I took them. I’ll probably need to revisit them at a later date. This first one is great in pretty much every way, except for the fact that you can see the streetlights up top, which feels off for the overall image. All the interesting bits are in shade in these two, which detracts from the overall picture. This is a solid photo, but would have been better if I had shot it with a slightly wider lens at a slightly different angle. Good, but compromised. Some of the local cats hang out in and on top of a commercial greenhouse. They’re friends with the staff, who occasionally forget the cats are there when they leave at the end of the day, so the owner has to go and let the cats out when they don’t show up for meals.
