My visit to Iceland in February was too short to do it real justice, although the two tours I went on were excellent introductions to the natural wonders of this small island. So I didn’t see as much of Reykjavik as I would’ve liked. But I did see a lot of street art, some colorful boats, and a singular kind of church.

I don’t actually know what this little hill near the docks is, but there was a path you could walk up
These little fast-food joints were all over town
How others see us
Harpa, the concert hall, across the harbor
Look at these amazing hedgehog mittens my friends loaned me
Downtown

That’s always the question, isn’t it
Hello, Mr Viking!
Hallgrímskirkja
Hallgrímskirkja is an impressive Lutheran church with a statue of Leif Erikson in front

Ooh right out there on the western part of the spit, by the university, that’s where I stayed
The Rocketeer?
I particularly enjoyed the ones you took from the air – thanks! It looks as if you’ll be planning another visit….
I was so lucky with those–I got photos all across the island as we flew back to London, and then some photos of the cities and towns of Scotland and England by night.
Beautiful photos, Lisa!

Thanks, Shannon!
Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking us with you to Reykjavik. I love the aerial shot showing the spit of land that the city’s on and where you stayed – the colours and shapes make a lovely photo. Tempting to make a pair of hedgehog mittens – what fun!
I appreciate letting us share your travels – thanks!
The hedgehog mittens really were the best.
