Sandro Santioli spent 70 hours in flight over Iceland, taking some astounding photographs of this otherworldly landscape. I'm fascinated, of course, since I'm immersed in Iceland-on-the-ground these days. (Hat tip to Marly Youmans for the link!)

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Wow, what amazing images, truly like paintings! Now do you wish to go back and take a similar flight (for 70 hours!)? I'd be tempted except for the challenges he describes - talk about determination for one's art.

Wild pictures. A fellow from Craine Lake has a mother in law in Iceland. He visited once and says he tired of eating lamb.

Yep. It's pretty much lamb or fish, and you'd better not want too many fresh vegetables and fruit, or be willing to pay an awful lot for them. But we ate well while we were there, staying with friends.
