While visiting Reykjavik, Iceland in August of 2012, I was walking along one point on their harbor, where an abstract sculptural interpretation of an ancient Viking longship titled "Solfari" is sited. A quick moving storm passed by that location. After the rains quickly passed, I was left with the ability to capture the scene with a camera that internally stitched the image together as I panned across the harbor. I placed myself in a strategic shooting position that featured the sun breaking through the dramatic clouds while punctuating the tallest "prow" of the sculptural ship. The moody clouds and rain-drenched base of the sculpture not only reflected the different qualities of light at the time, but it also allegorically reflected the intense challenges of surviving a long voyage across uncharted seas in rough storms by the hardy Norsemen and Norsewomen.
