i don't know where you're trying to get with this.
My lousy excuse is that this guy lives and works in Iceland. It's impossible to ignore nature there. It will profoundly influence anything you do. It's a cliché but it's true. I lived it myself. And i sympathize with it's sentiments very deeply, regardless of its aesthetic results. Also the interesting point about Iceland is that the juxtaposition of nature vs. civilisation doesn't really apply there. People will sit at a café with their macbook, and in the weekend they go with their 4-wheel drive onto glaciers. They'll be visiting their family in a farm in the country side and in the evening go into town to techno clubs. The essence of icelandic culture is that exact idea that they don't distance themselves from nature, nor romanticize it. It's present at all times.
god I miss that place so much :(
