In Siglufjördur, Iceland, we witness the enduring nature of windows amid ferocious weather.
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…
Weather’s Resistor
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.

Welcome to week 150 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
It’s hard to believe that we’re closing in on 3 years of this challenge! After a tremendous week of layered goodness and creativity, this week’s theme came to me pretty quickly. I have to admit that I was surprised that I hadn’t used Round as a theme before, as it seems to be a natural! Of course, now you can make the rounds with great posts, of all shapes! Just think what a great Round up your contributions will make! (yes, that was punny).
Have a lot of fun with this theme and let your creative minds kindle the fires of your imagination!
Here’s a bit of roundness to get you in shape for the challenge…
Barrels from the Past
These barrels and wheel were outside the Herring Era Museum in the picturesque town of Siglufjörður on the Northeren coast of Iceland. The towns in this area were booming during the great days of the herring catch. Siglufjörður and the towns surrounding it are filled with charm from that era and are truly amazing to visit. It also doesn’t hurt that this area is stunning and a dream for landscape photography!
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
Looking forward to see what comes round the bend this week!
