Iceland 2015

THE BLACK SAND BEACH

Southern Iceland

Morning breeze after a long cold night of northern light hunt we arrived at Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach near Vik, Southern Iceland. The beach covered with black sand and surrounded by big basalt mountain. Glad that we decided to went there early in the morning, because as a local man we met said that this place were really popular. So we came as early as possible for better view.

Morning breeze

The beach was quiet calm in the morning unlike the afternoon. We could enjoy sit on the shore with our (not so) hot chocolate that we bought in the cafe near the beach. It was my first time wore a full windbreaker and scarf on the beach. LOL. but this place was so beautiful. So cold like Iceland but I can feel the warm of it. The local man also told us that this place was famous of puffin-watching. As this bird was spotted in the Clift near the beach. Many people came to see them.

Basalt mountain

The Giant basalt Clift by the beach was one of the reason to visit this place. The majestic rocks on the seaside is something different that other beach I've ever been to. And beside this beach in Northern Europe which is cold even on summer.

OSLO OPERA HOUSE

by Snøhetta

Kirsten Flagstads Plass 1, 0150 Oslo, Norway

The centrepiece of the city's rapidly developing waterfront is the magnificent Opera House, considered one of the most iconic modern buildings of Scandinavia. Designed by Oslo-based architectural firm Snøhetta and and resembles a glacier floating in the waters of the Oslofjord.

Interior surfaces are covered in oak to bring warmth to spaces in contrast to the coolness of the white exterior.

A perforated wall panel which covers roof supports in the lobby was designed by Olafur Eliasson. It features hexagonal opening and is illuminated from below and behind to create the illusion of melting ice.

The building is covered in white granite and La Facciata, a white Italian carrara marble

The Reichstag dome is a glass dome, constructed on top of the rebuilt Reichstag building in Berlin. It was designed by architect Norman Foster and built to symbolize the reunification of Germany.

The Reichstag dome is a large glass dome with a 360 degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape

Berlin city view from the Dome

The dome is open to the public and can be reached by climbing two steel, spiraling ramps that are reminiscent of a double-helix.
