# Victorious Viking Villages Patrycja Makowska's 'Iceland' Photo Series Captures a Long Ago Era By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrycja-makowska References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Iceland-A-heimsAknir-til-vAkinga/386711) & [patulkaa.jogger.pl](http://patulkaa.jogger.pl) Although Patrycja Makowska doesn't provide much (or really any) information about her 'Iceland' portfolio, I think it's safe to assume that this [Viking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-and-chips) village is either an elaborate [photo set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-ai-travel-photos) or rather--what I'm leaning towards--a recreational settlement. Harking back to a barbaric age and a simpler life, Patrycja Makowska has captured a unique set of photos. I wonder if these scenes are actually located in Iceland. If so, I definitely want to visit the village when I travel there. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Barbaric-age-themed Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to create photo sets or portfolios that capture and celebrate historical eras, providing a unique perspective for viewers. - **Recreational Settlements:** Opportunity for entrepreneurs to create immersive experiences that transport visitors to different time periods and offer a break from modern life. - **Nostalgic Tourism:** Opportunity for the tourism industry to promote and market destinations that allow tourists to experience the charm and simplicity of past eras. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Photographers can explore historical themes and offer unique photo sets and portfolios that cater to a growing interest in historical eras. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Businesses can create recreational settlements or historical-themed attractions to attract visitors seeking immersive experiences and nostalgic tourism. - **Event Planning and Entertainment:** Opportunity for event planners and entertainers to create themed events and performances that transport attendees to different historical eras. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Arctic Floating Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vipp-guesthouse.md) - [Breathtaking Archipelago Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago-getaway.md) - [Adventure-Seeking Iceland Flight Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iceland-flight-program.md) - [Unique Regional Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icelandair-boasts-activities.md) - [Jet-Black Sustainable Artful Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-bua.md) - [North Iceland Lagoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-iceland-geothermal-vacations.md) - [Horse-Themed Iceland Travel Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outhorse-your-email.md) - [Haunting Glacial Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joklalykt.md) - [Elemental Black Modern Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-nyp.md)
