Small Icelandic Towns #4 - Kópavogur - The Largest Small Town in Iceland
My small town series are meant to give you an idea about how it is to live in Icelandic small towns, without sounding like a tourist guide. My motto is to show them in different seasons trough drive-around videos, as they are, in every kind of mood and weather there is. Please tolerate with my work since I'm an amateur in film-making but practice makes perfect. My plan is to make a mini-documentaries over all Icelandic towns in the next years so this is far from end result. I use all my free time to record in different seasons, making info-texts and collecting feedback in order to make my material straight to the point with the information travellers seek while planing their trip to my country.
So enjoy this winter ride trough Iceland's second largest town, but it's small on international scale. Please use the subtitle option for full narration, or turn them of to enjoy the view even better.
Small Icelandic Towns #5 - Old and New Houses in Hafnarfjörður
Hafnarfjörður is Iceland's third largest town, with a population of over 29.800 where daily life and culture thrives in the middle of an old lava field. The town retains its small-town air, its rural aura and its heart - which is not surprising given that the it prides itself on the largest unbroken neighborhood of corrugated iron-clad timber houses in Iceland.
Enjoy this winter drive after first snowfall in 2019 where i take you trough the diverse building history, starting in the town center from where we move into the oldest part and from there into more recent neighborhoods, and end by the docks.
For me personally it's always a pleasure to visit Hafnarfjörður. Even the town is a part of the capital area, it has it's own soul and people from there distinct them from rest of the capital area and want to be able to seek all service locally. It's something that the people from the other towns that create the capital area usually do since it's hard to see whan you are in Reykjavik or the surrounding towns of Garðabær, Kópavogur, Seltjarnarnes and of course Hafnarfjörður with it's own soul.

Is Iceland Overshot, Too Busy or too Expensive?
I hear and read alot of urban legends about Iceland and constantly repeated false statements.
Iceland is Overshot! Meaning everything here has been done so it's better not go here but to move on to a lesser known place. It´s has become too busy with tourists! It's not possible to shoot there anymore! Iceland is too Expensive! Even the weird old story about how the island was named Iceland to repell other travelers from visiting. Is this all true?
What is happening here on our beautiful island? I´ve decided to address some of the claims people are making about my country with this short message. This is my weekly message to fellow photographers and enthusiastic travelers.
