Black-and-white close-up of the Arctic Henge in North Iceland, showing massive, rough-hewn stone blocks forming a triangular arch overhead. The camera looks upward from below, emphasizing the height and weight of the structure. The textured basalt surfaces appear weathered and uneven, contrasting against a pale, clouded sky. The composition highlights the monument’s geometric form and raw, sculptural presence.

Black-and-white photograph of the Arctic Henge in Raufarhöfn, North Iceland. Massive, roughly hewn stone blocks form tall triangular arches that align in perspective, creating a repeating geometric corridor. The structures rise starkly against a cloudy sky, their surfaces textured and weathered. In the distance, a solitary human figure stands beneath the far arch, emphasizing the scale and quiet monumentality of the scene. The ground is barren and strewn with small stones, adding to the austere, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The Arctic Henge (Heimskautsgerðið) is a modern stone monument inspired by Norse mythology and ancient astronomical knowledge. Still under construction, it is designed as a kind of sundial, with its structures aligned to capture sunlight and shadows throughout the seasons, especially during the Arctic’s extreme light conditions.

#Aurora resembling a big #dragon over the rock pyramids, was the result of a geomagnetic storm (level G2) generated by a coronal mass ejection earlier that day.

In June, the sun just drifts sideways in the Arctic sky, never really setting, just taking its time.

Preparing a presentation on the Arctic Henge. Wrestling with the age-old dilemma: how to do justice to myth and magic without turning it into a photo album. But it's sooo pretty 😍

Went to the Arctic Henge to watch the lunar eclipse. Didn't see much but the sunrise was nice 🌞🌝

Here in Arctic #Iceland, the days are finally stretching longer, and I can feel the shift in the air. Just a few weeks ago, darkness ruled, but now the sun lingers. Mornings arrive earlier, evenings fade slower, and there’s a quiet promise of spring in the crisp air.
#ArcticHenge #AlmostSpring

Today is the #WinterSolstice – the shortest day and longest night of the year. In #Iceland the sun barely graces the horizon, casting a golden twilight over the snow.

✨ Let the stillness and the stars remind you – even in the deepest darkness, light always returns. ✨

I live where most people see emptiness and I see plot lines. In #Raufarhöfn, every rocky shoreline and silent street is a possible crime scene. My writing doesn't just draw from the surroundings, it's carved by it. Oh, and then there's the #ArcticHenge 🤩😍
