Norbert Kardos and his girlfriend Denisa produced this haunting introduction to the land of Iceland. The combination of poetry, music, and video footage is stunning. One keeps expecting those lone stone boulders to turn back into trolls upon the setting of the sun.
The title River of Horses is great but a bit misleading. Icelandic horses don't show up until minute 7:00 out of 9:00. And the way they maximize the advantage of drone footage with slo mo, reversing footage adds such dimension.
We get to see aspects of the Icelandic landscape via drone we would never see in person.
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
