🇬🇧 One might say that this picture doesn’t

🇬🇧 One might say that this picture doesn’t have a chance to get seen on IG: It’s dark, it is neither action nor epic landscape, and it doesn’t even have a cute blonde twentysomething in a yellow raincoat in it.⠀
⠀
I don’t care, because this lovely girl is my new sweetheart here in the stable ❤️⠀
⠀
Taken in the old riding barn with sparse window light.⠀
⠀

⠀
🇩🇪 Man könnte sagen, daß dieses Bilder hier auf IG und Konsorten keine Chance hat: Es ist dunkel, es zeigt weder Action noch eine epische Landschaft, und es kommt nicht mal eine eine hübsche zwanzigjährige Blondine in einem gelben Regenmantel darin vor.⠀
⠀
Ist mir egal, denn dieses süße Mäuschen ist mein neuer Liebling hier im Stall ❤️⠀
⠀
Fotografiert in der alten Reithalle mit Fensterlicht.⠀

🇬🇧 (Read to the end)⠀ ⠀ I’ll tell you

🇬🇧 (Read to the end)⠀
⠀
I’ll tell you about a client of mine: ⠀
⠀
She’s extremely demanding, wants to be involved at every step of the process, texts me during off-hours and won’t be satisfied until the work is absolutely perfect. It is really hard to please her!⠀
⠀
Then I’ve also got this client:⠀
⠀
She’s one of the most inspiring persons I know, she knows what she wants, believes in me and loves seeing me grow. It’s a pleasure to work with her because she makes me push myself to be my very best. She keeps booking me and referring me to new clients. I love her!⠀
⠀
Tell you something:⠀
⠀
These are both the same person. And I’m so incredibly blessed and honored to have several clients like her. ⠀
⠀
Moral of the story:⠀
⠀
It’s how you look at things! Every challenge is a blessing in disguise with the right mindset. 🙂⠀
⠀
So here’s another big THANK YOU to all my dear clients and supporters who enable me to do what I love most and live this life of my dreams. Without you, I’d be nowhere near where I am now ❤️⠀
⠀
Service provider or not: Do YOU also know persons who have been crucial for your personal and/or professional growth? Tell me a little about them 🙂⠀
⠀
Pictured: Young stallion Djákni frá Hrímnisholti, who has a really special color, black with a star and two white eyes!⠀

🇬🇧 So I was out there the other day, hunting

🇬🇧 So I was out there the other day, hunting for windblown horses in a storm that tried to sweep me off my feet more than once. I had intentionally gone for a slow shutter speed because I wanted to capture the movement in their manes. ⠀
⠀
I sat there for a few hours with them (thank God for inventing the „kuldagalli" and good rubber boots!), getting from sunshine to whiteout and everything in between, completely forgetting about time.⠀
⠀
Until finally, daylight was all but gone, and my camera had difficulty focusing even against the silhouettes. I had told myself several times that I absolutely, totally, positively have to go home right now or they will have to pick me up as an ice cube.⠀
⠀
And then, this happened: A small and friendly conversation between an old and a young stallion, happening in the last daylight, encircled by the majestic mountains of the North. A moment that might seem trivial to most, but to me it is everything, because it stands for so much that Iceland is about.⠀
⠀
So while being far from technically perfect, I will probably treasure this shot forever.⠀
⠀
I hope it makes you feel something, too… 🙂⠀

🇬🇧 There’s another fierce winter storm rolling in, annoying horse trainers but making photographers very happy… 🙂⠀

🇬🇧 If I were to choose one image to contrast

🇬🇧 If I were to choose one image to contrast the one of yesterday's white mare, it’d probably be this one. Feminine energy vs. masculine, soft vs. powerful, enduring vs. taking initiative. Just two sides of these amazing little horses, taken only a few minutes apart, which is also proof of how quickly the weather can change here 🙂⠀
⠀
Welcome to Einmánuður, the last month of winter, which reminds us very much right now that the cold days are not over yet…⠀
⠀
---⠀
⠀
🇩🇪 Wenn ich ein Bild als Kontrast für die weiße Stute gestern wählen müßte, wäre es wohl das hier. Weibliche Energie vs. männliche, sanft vs. kraftvoll, aushalten vs. vorangehen. Nur zwei Seiten dieser unvergleichlichen Pferde, entstanden innerhalb weniger Minuten, wie zum Beweis dafür, wie schnell das Wetter hier umschlagen kann 🙂⠀
⠀
Willkommen im Einmánuður, dem letzten Wintermonat, der uns gerade sehr daran erinnert, daß die kalten Tage noch nicht vorbei sind…⠀

🇬🇧 It doesn’t always have to be spectacular.⠀
⠀
When I visited the herd this day, I was greeted first by this beautiful mare. And I noticed something special about her right away. Not only is she the only white horse in this group, but she also has this calm and poised demeanour, seeing everything but not letting herself get disturbed too easily, as if she was in a class of her own.⠀
⠀
And in this very moment, she seemed to pour all that into the picture.⠀
⠀
(In fact, another horse helped me in the making of this picture, can you imagine how? 😉)⠀
⠀
Winner of the postcard drawing is @anoraaliaart, please dm me your address! 🙂⠀

⠀
🇩🇪 Es muß nicht immer spektakulär sein.⠀
⠀
Als ich diese Herde besuchte, wurde ich zuerst von dieser wunderschönen Stute begrüßt. Und irgend etwas an ihr hat mich sofort gefesselt. Nicht nur ist sie das einzige weiße Pferd in der Gruppe, sondern sie hat auch diese ruhige, souveräne Art; ihr entgeht nichts, aber sie läßt sich dadurch auch nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Als würde sie irgendwie über den Dingen schweben.⠀
⠀
Und in genau diesem Moment schien sie all das in das Bild zu geben.⠀
⠀
(Tatsächlich hat mir ein anderes Pferd bei diesem Bild geholfen, kannst du dir denken, wie? 😉)⠀
⠀
Gewinner der Postkarte ist @anoraaliaart, bitte schreib’ mir deine Adresse! 🙂⠀

🇬🇧 Can't believe that I've already been here

🇬🇧 Can't believe that I've already been here for more than a month! And neither that I haven't been updating you more. Time goes by so quickly, and yet I feel as I’ve been here for much longer…⠀
⠀
Life is good right now. I’m staying at a farm with a long history, very good horses and amazing horsemen, helping in the stable part-time and working on design&photography projects for clients and myself alongside that.⠀
⠀
And I’m learning more interesting stuff every day. Did you know that in the old days, the months had different names and were divided into six summer and six winter months, all named by natural phenomenons or the different farming tasks that they imposed on the people? We’re in the last days of Góa right now, which will be followed by Einmánuður, the last month of winter.⠀
⠀
And as winter is coming to an end, we're seeing the snow rapidly melt away. So here’s a picture of young stallion Ari, enjoying the snow while it lasts 🙂⠀
⠀
Winner of the postcard drawing will be announced in the next post! ;-)⠀

🇬🇧 Time for an update, isn’t it? 🙂⠀
⠀
I’ve been enjoying the last days tremendously, getting to know everything and everybody, seeing some Northern Lights, being fed well and getting back into shape with the daily stable chores. It’s funny, I am so energized even though I get up much earlier here than back home.⠀
⠀
We have gotten some new snow here, which I’m very happy about, but some other people are not 😄⠀
⠀
Anyway, I made some time to head out to the young stallions, as there’s always some action there. And they are really enjoying themselves in the snow.⠀
⠀
Time for another postcard round:⠀
⠀
If you want to win a postcard from Iceland handwritten by yours truly, let me know in the comments what would be your favorite motive on it, and tag at least one other person who might want to win as well. You’ll get one ticket for each person you tag. Good luck 😉⠀
⠀
(Guess what, FB and IG are in no way related to this raffle…)⠀

🇬🇧 It’s my (hopefully) last day in quarant

🇬🇧 It’s my (hopefully) last day in quarantine today and after that, there will be new adventures. I was mostly in the office, as I’m not allowed to go anywhere, with the exception of a few walks to the nearby horses. And as I’m arriving in Iceland again physically and mentally, I take note of just how bad the state in Germany really is:⠀
⠀
I hear it from elsewhere and I experience it myself. People are fed-up, angry and aggressive. It seems like many are just looking for their own advantage anymore, without concern for other people. And regardless of bigger political events, this attitude of cut and thrust really frightens me.⠀
⠀
I totally get that everybody is tired and annoyed right now with this seemingly neverending pandemic, and I’m no exception. But still I think everybody deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, now maybe more than ever. Because what have we left if we can’t even afford basic civilized behaviour?⠀
⠀
We’re all in this together. This is a challenge for every single one of us. So let’s treat each other with grace and benevolence.⠀
⠀
Have you had similar experiences lately?⠀
⠀
P.S.: As I’m finishing this writing, my results are in: I’m negative! 🥳
⠀
Image: Contrary to this peaceful day last fall, we have really bad weather right now. Fierce winds and almost horizontal sleet…⠀

T-1.⠀
⠀
🇬🇧 The last days have been incredibly busy with necessary, but less exciting tasks: Filling out my Covid info twice (because I’ve got a transition stop in a different country), taking care of my quarantine home, emptying my inbox and getting everything into place here, alongside some unforeseen steps in order to get the actual tasks done. ⠀
⠀
Oh, and also with eating everything that won’t last until my return. So much for the fun part. And for my diet plans… 🙄⠀
⠀
But the good stuff is just about to start: There are a load of exciting things on the horizon already, and although tomorrow's trip will take around 30 hours from door to door, I couldn’t feel more ready.⠀
⠀
Traveling in times of a pandemic. Watch my stories if you want to come along 🙂⠀
⠀

🇩🇪 Die letzten Tage ging es hier rund; ich hatte eine Menge nötiger, aber weniger spannender Dinge zu erledigen. Meine Covid-Registrierung zweifach ausfüllen (weil ich einen Zwischenstop in einem anderen Land habe), mich um eine Quarantänemöglichkeit kümmern, meinen Posteingang leerbekommen und hier alles ordentlich hinterlassen, inklusive ein paar unvorhergesehener Zwischenschritte, um die eigentlichen Aufgaben zu erledigen.⠀
⠀
Ach ja, und auch damit, alles aufzuessen, das nicht bis zu meiner Rückkehr halten wird. So viel zum angenehmen Teil. Und zu meinen Diätplänen… 🙄⠀
⠀
Aber von jetzt an wird alles super: Es stehen schon einige spannende Dinge in Aussicht, und auch wenn meine morgige Reise ca. 30 Stunden von Tür zu Tür dauern wird, könnte ich mich nicht besser vorbereitet fühlen.⠀
⠀
Reisen in Zeiten einer Pandemie. Guck’ in meine Stories, wenn du ein bißchen mitkommen willst 🙂⠀
⠀
Bild: Huginn frá Eylandi. Einfach weil er so toll ist ❤️⠀

T-3.⠀
⠀
🇬🇧 It’s Covid homeoffice day here today, and it has been for too long.⠀
⠀
So as if Nature tried to outdo herself, she’s putting some pouring rain on top of it. And in my mind, I travel back to the day when time seemed to stand still, out there with the horses, in the rain. Because soon enough, I’ll sit there again, quietly observing, taking in the peacefulness of these simple moments that are so precious to me.⠀
⠀
Thank you so much everybody for your heartfelt comments under my last post! I’m so blessed to have this little community of wonderful people here, and I’m grateful for every single one of you. ❤️⠀
⠀
When did you last have a special moment with a horse?⠀
⠀
---⠀
⠀
🇩🇪 Heute ist Corona-Homeoffice-Tag, und zu viele davor waren es auch.⠀
⠀
Also hat die Natur, als wenn sie sich selbst übertreffen wollte, auch noch Dauerregen obendrauf gesetzt. Und in meinen Gedanken gehe ich zurück zu diesem Tag, als die Zeit stillzustehen schien, da draußen mit den Pferden, im Regen. Denn schon bald werde ich dort wieder sitzen, still beobachten und die Friedlichkeit dieser einfachen Momente in mich aufnehmen, die mir so viel bedeuten.⠀
⠀
Danke so sehr an euch alle für eure von Herzen kommenden Kommentare unter meinem letzten Post! Ich schätze mich so glücklich über diese kleine Community von wunderbaren Leuten hier, und ich bin dankbar für jeden einzelnen von euch. ❤️⠀
⠀
Wann hattest du zuletzt einen besonderen Moment mit einem Pferd?⠀
