Iceland | Passionate stone collector

The small town of Djúpivogur in East Iceland There lives a stone collector. Due to the active volcanic activity in Iceland, various geographical changes have been caused, and stones of many different colors and shapes have been carved. "Sometimes, I go to the wild to pick up stones. ” Over time, Jon filled the back garden with stones. Later, his back garden was also called the stone garden. In his eyes, every stone is unique and has a story. Jon also perfectly demonstrates the warm and friendly side of Icelanders. Someone proposed that his collection and handicrafts could be used as a museum to charge tourists, but he refused because these things do not belong to him personally, but to Iceland. Yes, he just wants to be a good friend with anyone and share his collection and experiences. In fact, not only stones, but also collections that are not special in the eyes of others, are treasured by Jon. A Hong Kong friend once casually drew a painting with a ball pen as a gift to Jon in 2013, and he framed it in a conspicuous place. Another example is The somewhat worn George Bess jersey he wore was particularly touching to fellow Manchester United fans. Perhaps what he collected was not the items, but the living stories behind them. #IcelandTravel #Iceland #foodphotography
