Like I told you all before, friends, neighbors and loyal readers, reality ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
And even though Iceland is a breathtaking island in its own right, I couldn’t resist the urge to take, um, artistic liberties.
So I ran some of my photos through a series of filters, effects and, yes, outright gimmicks, to create the impression that I have even the least little bit of artistic talent.
Plus, Iceland is a magical island, and reality doesn’t do it justice.
So humor me and check it out. Please.
