Siglo Colour. (http://blog.parrikar.com/2017/04/30/siglo-colour/) Crisp winter air in Siglufjörður, Iceland.

The museum seems like an excellent way to repurpose the herring fishery buildings and keep the history alive.

Although the museum was created years after my visit, I was reminded of our group's brief visit to a whaling station, somewhat west of Reykjavik. A whale was being processed at the time, and the stench was overwhelming several hundred yards away. I think by 1974 whaling was already supposed to be limited to "scientific" purposes.

Somehow, I suspect theses photos would not work nearly as well in black and white.   ;)

Eric,

Minke whale meat is still served in a few restaurants in Iceland.

Nice.

Looks like the tourist board knows what attracts photographers.

Actually, I think all this colour has something to do with living in a mostly winter-like country. People want to see colour. Newfoundland also has some very colourful buildings which really stand out in winter.

Lovely images, Rajan.
