The Icelandic Sagas - Prelude





















A deep, timeless pool of still water. Horsemen pass by.

First, a group of out-riders, dusty and blackened. They pause to look, and there's no reflection. Silence as time passes in a green valley.

The second riders. Novices rub shoulder with the experienced in the warmth of a sinking sun. One man looks up as he passes the pool and waves.

The final rider, a flaxen haired boy seated on the mount lead by his mother. He smiles, absorbed in the passing of time.

Iceland.
