🌈 The street that made me stop walking and start shooting.
I've photographed across 40+ countries — ancient temples, volcanic landscapes, hidden coastal villages — but sometimes it's a simple city street that catches you completely off guard.
This is Skólavörðustígur, Reykjavík's iconic rainbow street. I turned a corner on a crisp Icelandic autumn afternoon, the sky brooding overhead, autumn trees just beginning to turn — and there it was. A river of colour cutting straight through the heart of the city.
Iceland has this remarkable ability to surprise you. Even in the urban moments. Even between the waterfalls and the lava fields and the midnight sun. There's always something that makes you reach for your camera.
This photo captures what I love most about travel photography — not just the grand landscapes, but the unexpected human moments in extraordinary places. The man photographing. The couple on the bench. The ordinary afternoon made extraordinary by colour and light.
