My Encounter with a Troll in Iceland - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Anything that creates uncertainty is good news in my creative department. And that’s why I took full advantage of and was in infinite fun with the natural phenomenon created by geothermal features.

Out of the several geothermal locations in Iceland, I seemed to have the most fun in Hverir at Namaskard. We arrived there on a late afternoon. And I knew that I would have to come back for more.

Who knew, I would run into troll in front of this very mountain? Yeah, Iceland is the land of the trolls and we once even drove in a troll’s garden. But this time, it’s different.

Stay tuned. I shall be back……

Italian Drama in Foligno, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Italians are no strangers to dramas. After all, opera originated in Italy in the far distant 16th centuray.

While roaming the Piazza San Domenico in Foligno before the historical parade fashioning the Baroque-era outfits, I saw dramatic stories unfolding in front of my eyes, frame after frame.

How would you caption these images if you were me?

One clarification I thought justified to make though - when referring to drama, I was thinking more in the line of Michael Corleone and God Father kind of drama …

… and not the high pitched OMG style.

You see what I mean?

The Show is About to Start in Foligno, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

The sun’s lowering. The table’s set. The fun’s about to start.

Wait, are you ready?

Well, nobody’s ready until a lady says so…

Or until the knight’s checked his connection with the modern world one last time.

I think this horse is more than ready for his show time though.

In a few days, the historical Giostra della Quintana will be held again in the beautiful town of Foligno in Italy, where knights and their horses will compete on speed and skill. But before that, Italian gastronomy and baroque fashion will guarantee to impress.

While we are stuck at home waiting out the pandemic, I’m glad that we got to experience it first hand a couple years ago.
