haustlitir | Áslaug Jónsdóttir

Föstudagsmyndir: Fyrsta vetrardag bar upp á 22. október í ár. Þar með lauk Haustmánuði og við tók Gormánuður. Ég þakka fyrir blítt haust með myndum úr sveit og borg. Góða helgi!

Friday photos: The official First Day of Winter in Iceland was October 22 (always on a Saturday, late in October). Thus the “Month of Autumn” / Haustmánuður came to an end, and the month with the less attractive name: “Month of Gor” / Gormánuður started – all according to the old Norse calendar. The name is connected to the season of slaughtering and feasting in the early winter: gor meaning the half-digested forage from an animal’s innards. Yes, nice.

I bid the mild autumn 2022 farewell with photos from both farm (above) and city (below). Enjoy the weekend!

Við Hafravatn: Ég hef stundum ekki aðra ljósmyndavél meðferðis en símaapparatið og myndirnar sem úr því koma eru meira til minnis og mátulega góð heimild ef eitthvað er. Ég hef smellt nokkrum af þessum myndum inn á Instagrammið en mér hugnast reyndar betur að nota heimasíðuna – hér er ró og hér er friður – skoði þeir sem skoða vilja.

En það er sem sagt komið haust.

By the lake: Sometimes I have no camera with me on my walks, except for my old iPhone. The photos that come out of it are more for a my own reference, serving as a visual note, if anything. Still, I have put some of these photos on Instagram, although I prefer to use my website for posting images – giving my visitors and viewers a more calm platform – and so if they like to visit, they come and go without having to make any decision about likes or notes.

But, yup, autumn is definitely here!
