This week finds us about as far to the East as we were to the West in last week’s Wednesday Window. We’re going from Grafton, Utah, to Siglufjördur, Iceland.
The elements are ferocious in both locations and the years of weather can definitely show their impact and reduce the functionality of the window…
Here the window tells us about the history of the building and how it has bravely battled the elements for many years in an attempt to protect those who brought in the bounty of the ocean; this window is part of a barn at the Herring Era Museum complex in Siglufjördur in the north of Iceland. It is interesting to get a sense of what life was like for the men, women and children who made up this community; life wasn’t easy during the herring fishing times and everyone in Siglufjördur contributed.
