Glimpses

As I have already indicated, Iceland has amazing diversity in its geography, but it is also diverse in many other ways, too.

Reykjavik’s Rainbow Street, with the famous Hallgrímskirkja (Church of Hallgrimur) in the background.
Surprise! Iceland has swans. We saw many of them, even in very northern locations.
Icelanders love their coffee and there are eclectic and comfortable cafés everywhere. The coffee is also excellent.
A row of colourful houses in downtown Reykjavik.
The Monument to the Unknown Bureaucrat by Magnús Tómasson is famous in Iceland. The bureaucrat’s head and torso have been replaced by a chunk of volcanic basalt. Is it a tribute or is it satire?

Happy Wednesday.
