Economic Sunset
Reykjavik, Iceland - July 2009


Iceland has suffered greatly from the world-wide financial meltdown. This picture represents that meltdown both symbolically through the sunset and actually if you look closely at the big building - it is completely empty. High hope built this high rise, but so far, those hopes are unfulfilled.

Very poignant statement. One of those images that requires no words to communicate its sentiment.

An achingly sad and hollow portrait. v

What a striking comment on the bad loans that bankrupted this country. We can see right through the building. It was built on a dream, yet there was no substance there to save it when push came to shove.
