Colours of Iceland

This is a book of the colours in the natural and built environment of Iceland. The images show not just the subtle tones of green and blue in mountains and waters, but also the striking colours used by the Icelandic people in their houses, clothes and street decoration. The photographs were all taken in July and early August, an important fact given Iceland’s strongly seasonal climate. Paul Ashley August 2014
