The Last Ride & Supper: Iceland
/0 Comments/in Europe, Iceland, Travelogue /by allanI knew the last day would be long and in some ways not as interesting. Pan was hoping we could find remote interior areas to explore, ride and shoot more footage. But the eastern part of Iceland, before you get closer to the coast, is wide, expansive, and desert-like. Open spaces, with wide valleys and […]
Get The Shot: Film Crew Busted
/0 Comments/in Europe, Iceland, Logistics-Technology, Travelogue /by allanWith the modest compact rental car with a hatchback and all of our film gear, Pan often likes to do anything for the shot. So as we’re motoring down one of Iceland’s nicer paved roads he decides to strap himself into the hatchback area and hang out the back with the hatchback door open. As […]

It’s also rare. There are less than 200 swimming the North Atlantic. The chances of sighting a blue whale, even in remote Arctic Ocean around Iceland is rare. There […]
Iceland Landscapes: Lakes & Waterfalls
/0 Comments/in Europe, Iceland, Travelogue /by allanI’m counting down my last days here in Iceland. This is sad for several reasons, yet brings joy in other ways. I’ve barely touched the tip of what Iceland has to offer. From culture, cuisine, and connecting with local people—there’s no question I’ve had amazing experiences and developed new friendships that will last my […]
The Spectacular Ride to Husavik
/0 Comments/in Europe, Iceland, Travelogue /by allanSure, I could complain. This is summer, after all. Shouldn’t I be experiencing warm weather? I remember Alaska many years ago. Then Patagonia. I may feel frustrated, and wince about the cold and wet weather, but that’s in a brief moment. As I ride this wonderful island, I feel I’m overdosing on scenery and raw […]
