EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of villagers and their faithful dogs gather in front of their traditional turf houses in the quaint Icelandic village of Bondaboer. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique and resilient way of life that once thrived in this remote and rugged landscape. The villagers, bundled up against the cold, stand proudly in front of their homes, their expressions revealing a sense of community and contentment. The houses, with their distinctive turf roofs, are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built them. The turf, sourced from the surrounding land, was used not only for insulation but also for heating, making these homes a vital shelter against the harsh Icelandic climate. The dogs, an integral part of the lives of the villagers, are a reminder of the strong bond between humans and animals in this isolated community. Their presence adds a sense of warmth and companionship to the scene, as the villagers and their canine companions huddle together, united in their shared struggle for survival. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, one where the simple pleasures of life were cherished, and the connection to the land was unbreakable. The image invites us to reflect on the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit, and the enduring power of community and tradition.
