Hello!
I'm Kristina and I live by the sea in Brighton and work as a freelance illustrator. I dig cats, sequins, the internet, Nancy Mitford, cream teas, the Pre-Raphaelites and naps among other things.
This blog is a medley of drawings, photos and anything else I find pleasing to the eye.

It’s like nowhere else I’ve ever been. I definitely recommend a visit! But maybe go in summer because it was REAL cold. x

BOooooooooooooooooootiful photography, the blue is such a start contrast to the copper red, and I love how you catch texture and bits like that…

Absolutely stunning photographs!
It’s nice to see Iceland with a bit more colour (the ground was covered in snow when I visited).
How did you cope with the awful smell?

It’s a small hot water pool called Blesi (I think). It’s just as blue in real life! x

Wow, it’s looks STUNNING there! ♥

Such a coincidence that I took a nearly identical photo (Geysir close up) when I was there, but on a much cloudier day it seems:

I love the colors you got. It’s funny that people don’t even believe that Iceland truly is that saturated and colorful without much Photoshop adjustment.
Great photo of Strokkur erupting! We got a few, but it was raining so hard, it was difficult to stay there too long to get more exploring done.
Did you enjoy any Skyrr? My husband will only eat that now, and we have to buy it for $3USD at the fancy market, because he is obsessed.

PS. I miss Iceland. I need to go back! If you have a chance, take a trip up to Stykkisholmur in Snefaellsnes, you won’t regret it!

Is it possible to have nostalgic feelings for a place you have never been?
reply
Wonderful photos. Went on honeymoon in Iceland around the same time last year – this brought me right back! Bless bless!
reply
Oh my, I need to go back and bring a better camera than I had when I was 14.
reply
Absolutely gorgeous.
