Hugmynd's photostream  

I am an Icelander currently situated in Sweden. I am also an aspiring molecular geneticist with a pronounced interest in colour genetics, in particular of equines.

The photos on this photostream are mostly taken either by me or my father. The majority is of horses that are either ours or related to horses that we have. Two mares are central to this: Aska frá Búðarhóli and Skessa frá Svínafelli. Both are dun roans and have been bred from with the aim of increasing the number of roan horses, as that colour pattern is in danger of extinction within the Icelandic horse breed.

Atlapix is my significant other, and he is a far better photographer than I am, and also much more diligent at it.

About my handle:
Hugmynd is the Icelandic word for an idea, but as a compound word it can also be taken as a play on words. The composite words are hugur, which means mind, and mynd, which means an image, so hugmynd can also be interpreted as something that is before the mind's eye or an image in one's mind. Or something to that effect... you can pick.
