The Language of Love

You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither

Either, either Neither, neither, Let’s call the whole thing off.

You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto

Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let’s call the whole thing

– Louis Armstrong

A Time to Talk

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don’t stand still and look around

On all the hills I haven’t hoed,

And shout from where I am, What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

– Robert Frost, “A Time to Talk”

One Day in Iceland

via vimeo.com

One day in Iceland can last a long time

During the Midnight Sun, the sun never fully sets, but hovers across the horizon during the night. The prolonged ‘sunset’ and ‘sunrise’ provide perfect light for photographers.

Photographer Joe Capra is our ‘keenie’ of the day. He writes –

“For 17 days I travelled solo around the entire island shooting almost 24 hours, sleeping in the car, and eating whenever I had the time. During my days shooting this film I shot 38,000 images, travelled some 2900 miles, and saw some of the most amazing, beautiful, and indescribable landscapes on the planet. Iceland is absolutely one of the most beautiful and unusual places you could ever imagine.”

This time lapse film showcases the spectacular landscape of Iceland.
