Inscribed on verso in graphite: "We took our yellow VW camper to Iceland during the | summer of 1996. I was hearing the end of the Shippping | Forecast but still had some far-flung sea areas to | visit. So we took a ferry from Aberdeen to the Shetlands | before moving on, after a few days, to the Faroe Islands. | It was Jo's 30th birthday on the day we finally reached | the Icelandic port of Seyðisfjörður, and to celebrate we | walked in to a real smorgasbord, cosisting of far too much | picled herring for my liking. | This picture was taken on the way back to Seyðisfjörður after | a wonderful two weeks. (Miraculously, or van was still in | one piece after several hundred miles on Icelandic 'roads'). | It's an image of a strange and apparently dark situation | that I don't understand myself, and the contact sheet | doesn't offer any clues to what happened before or afterwards. | But that's one of the things I lover about photography - it | never tells us everything."; lower left: "This print was made to raise funds | for the student / alumni books to celebrate | 21 years of photography at the U.O.B. 2013."; lower center: "3/12"
