EDITORS COMMENTS
Husavik, a picturesque fishing town nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Iceland, is beautifully captured in this print by CM Dixon. The image transports us back to the 20th century, offering a glimpse into the charm and tranquility of this coastal community. Located on the shores of Skjalfandi bay, Husavik boasts an array of natural wonders that have captivated visitors for generations. However, it is the iconic wooden church, Husavikurkirkja, that steals the spotlight as the town's most famous landmark. Built in 1907 and standing proudly against a backdrop of rugged mountains and pristine waters, this architectural gem serves as a testament to Christianity's enduring presence in these remote lands. The photograph showcases not only Husavikurkirkja but also provides insight into daily life during that era. A cart used for road transport can be seen amidst the scenic harbor area - a reminder of how transportation relied upon traditional methods and materials like wood. CM Dixon's skillful composition captures both the religious significance and natural beauty that define Husavik. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era when simplicity intertwined with spirituality created an enchanting atmosphere unique to this corner of Iceland.
