When I started a blog I didn’t think one day I’ll write a post about plane wreck ! Who would ever want to visit place like that ? Well, Iceland surprise even on that topic. Some flights go down over remote, inaccessible spots that make it difficult to recover the remains. Other planes are left as memorial to those who died in the crash. No matter the reason for their abandonment, many of the hidden wrecks can be visited by anyone with a drive for adventure. Once a symbol of the golden age of air travel, a Douglas Super DC-3 airplane lies forgotten on a deserted black beach in Iceland – untouched since it crashed more than four decades ago. The most common theory is either that the plane crashed because it ran out of the fuel or because the pilot accidentally switched to the wrong fuel tank. The plane was one of four Douglas Dakotas based at the US Navy based in Keflavík, which was important military base during the Cold War. The base was closed in 2006 when the US Navy left. It’s tail and wings are gone and it’s windows are all smashed but it’s still more then breathtaking attraction. Stay […]
Many new things coming in 2017. for me and my profession development. I’m super excited and I want to share all the happy moments from my life with you, my dear readers! As you probably know I expended my blog on “lifestyle” and “fashion” part. Why? Why not ! I know there are many of you who will enjoy it and above all I like to dress nice ! It’s win win situation When you dress like winner people tend to respect you more. In psychology, this is known as “the hallo effect”. If you look great and you take care of your appearance, then people assume that you are someone who deserves their respect – someone who is also successful, reliable, and kind. I have to stop, I know, because fashion posts should be about fashion not psychology. That’s my problem I like to write and write… Spring has come to my country, Croatia and the capital, Zagreb, became beautiful as never. So my first “dressed to impress ” combination I pulled out, few weeks ago, teamed with my friend it’s all about black pieces. We used the park next to my apartment as scene and I tried to brought […]
The first association black has is a with mystery, the unknown and the hidden. Black is color of magic – the color that hides. It can be used to hide feelings, to separate oneself from the world. Black doesn’t usually express many emotions but when you get up on the hills that overlook black sand beach in Vík you will feel nothing but tsunami of emotions. I still remember the first time I saw this beauty, I just stood there for hours watched the white sea foam coming and going and leaving those beautiful traced patterns on the coal black sand. This is one of my favorite spots in Iceland. Why is like that I really don’t know. Guess black magic got control over me. Just kidding, but when you see the pictures you will know why. HOW WAS IT FORMED? Black beaches are common thing on the coast of volcanic islands and it’s usually created in either two ways. One way is when lava from the eruption hits the cold ocean and causes the lave to explode, forming small glass – like shards which become rounded as the ocean waves erode them. Another way is similar to how white sand beaches […]
Are the Icelandic people strange ? In fact “strange” for you doesn’t have to be “strange” for me. Am I right ? But we can agree on one thing, Iceland, like any country, has some odd, peculiar things about it and it’s inhabitants. Have you heard about Icelandic believing in elves? When you see the landscape you can’t blame them. There’s just something mystical about Iceland, something that grabs a hold of our collective travel souls and refuse to let it go. I’ve been trying to understand for more then year and half what makes Iceland so special. And still trying. I undiscovered some strange and weird facts about Iceland that I thought I’d share with you. If nothing else, it will only make you to love this fun but slightly odd country even more. For example like I do. There is no surnames or family names in Iceland. Majority of Icelanders people have a last name that is comprised from their father’s (or mother’s) first name with addition of “-dóttir (daughter) or “-son”. This also means they call everyone by their first name. Using titles such as “Mr”, “Mrs, “Miss”or “Dr” is not common either. So, don’t get offended. Even tho […]
Well, Iceland was and still is one of my favorite places in the world. Ever since I was a little instead of chasing ball I dreamt about foreign and distant places and somehow Iceland was always on the top of my list. Some people claim that in the silence of Iceland’s wilderness, you come closer to hearing God. And now I believe in that. There is something magical in this remote island, something that will change your mind and heart forever and make you come for more. Every minute here brings you another astonishing sight that seems more like another planet than the native Earth. While there are so many places in the world I still haven’t explored I would still go for Iceland over any other. A year and half since I’ve been there and so far I didn’t write a single word about it. I think I was too afraid to ruin beauty of the Iceland with my amateur writing skills. Maybe my recent trip to New Zealand has something with it, but somehow all the memories and pictures from Iceland recently started run through my mind. So finally I pulled my thoughts together and decided to create […]
