Iceland is one of the most unique and special places on earth. Visiting Iceland was one of the most exciting trips I have ever taken, definitely one of those little hidden gems on this planet. Leading up to my arrival, I was consumed by the thoughts of capturing so many interesting images of the city and the landscape. When I arrived, I was not let down by the photo opportunities. Our visit started in Reykjavik, its capital city. It is a fabulous city and is very walkable. There are plenty of sights to see, but one that I did not know about, we came upon by chance. As we strolled along the waterfront we soon came upon a beautiful piece of art right on the edge of the shoreline only minutes walk from the downtown core of Reykjavik.
This beautiful piece of stainless steel art was designed by artist Jon Gunnar as part of the celebration of Reykjavik’s 200 year anniversary. He named his piece - “The Sun Voyager” and it was intended to represent a vessel that transports souls to the realm of the afterlife. It is an ode to the sun, symbolizing light and hope.
The location of the beautiful sculpture has contributed to it becoming one of the most photographed attractions in the city. Please take some time to visit this sculpture next time you are in Reykjavik.
