after the storm

yesterday we had to leave the "Open House" early and get a lift to the flat due to the increasingly strong wind.
Today, surprisingly, the wind is not so strong and there is a bit of sun. I went for a walk for the first time in a week. It is very cold and there is a lot of snow but after a week indoor it feels like spring!
Compared to when i first arrived in a sunny-but-cold Skagastrond, the place has changed totally.
The hours of light are longer, but now the whole village is buried in snow and the snowplow goes around to free doors.
The wind has created a strange geography: some areas are nearly free of snow, just covered by a thick crust of ice, while in other points the snow has piled up in "waves" which are sometimes nearly as tall as the building, 2-3 metres. One particular building has a side nearly totally covered, with just the red border of the roof coming out.
Photographing in Iceland automatically brings the mind to think how much the landscape and people are affected by the weather. This month i will continue to photograph places and spaces but i will also focus on people...the first victim was the postwoman, i saw her in her red uniform passing the street and run after her for some test photo...
