Living fast

"We are living fast here" he said "If I want something I go for it, I do everything to get it- even if I have to take a credit but actually the times changed and now it's time for fishing".

Where is my night? Part 2

Where is the Night? Monster Larissa
Everywhere in Reykjavík I see this name sprayed on the walls.
Who is Monster Larissa?

Iceland Haiku

Iceland Haiku n° 1

A boat passes the golden channel
the sun is kissing the sea
my hands are open

Iceland Haiku n° 2

A plane disappears in the brightblue sky
the flavour of sweet flowers caresses the air
sun in my face

Iceland Haiku n° 3

Mount Esja is purple
icebar hot rock steak
the pink parasols are closed

Iceland Haiku n° 4

At the very end of sea appears a glacier
the cruiser leaves his smokeline
breath in breath out

Iceland Haiku n° 5

Warm water over golden shimmering feet
beneath darkgreen algae
and screaming birds above my head

Iceland Haiku n° 6

Light breakes the white watercurtain
wind blows the hair around my head
the smell of soft moss

Iceland Haiku n° 7

A shadow of the rainbow is shimmering on the wall
the deep sound of water falling
spume in my face

Iceland Haiku n° 8

The mountains left and right
I can't see the ground
dark warm water is floating under my breast

Iceland Haiku n° 9

Me and my loneliness
walking along the cold blue fjord
and the wind is singing

Iceland Haiku n° 10

The mountain says forever
below the profound sea
above the bright stringent sky

Iceland Haiku n° 11

Harsh wind dries immediately
my tears and the rain
the clouds meet the mountain

Iceland Haiku n° 12

Suddenly it feels like novemver
since the fog came from the mountain
the sea is covered in a tight white

Iceland Haiku n° 13

Ein goldener Tropfen fällt aus der Wolkendecke
in den blauen Ozean und bildet einen roten Weg
im Wellenrauschen tauchen Vögel tief

Where is my night? Part 1

As the technology owerwhelmed me in the last two weeks the begin of my Iceland residency will be in text form. My new camera and my old computer are not compatible. It is a little bit like being in the desert but I take it as a chance to get to the essential. This is my the fourth day in Reykjavik, Iceland. A day here in summer is a day and a night. Let me explain: it's not getting dark anymore, yesterday we could see the sun going down into the sea in front of our living room and rise up again a few minutes later . So when I go to bed at any time, there is light. I feel kind of superawake all the time even if I am not. The body tells you it is time to sleep but the eyes cannot believe it, like when you was a child and was told to go to bed early. Now it feels to early at any time of the "day-night". It is something I have always dreamt about that the day and its time should be extendable.
