Celeste makes a new friend during a visit to the home of a botanist and expert in natural wool dying. I forgot the botanist's name, but her dog's name is Tryggur (Icelandic for loyal).

  • Reykjavik's new Harpa Concert Hall. The brightly colored glass facade of the building was inspired by Iceland's volcanic landscape.
  • Reykjavik is overflowing with street art. This one is the aptly named Statue of the Unknown Businessman.
  • Our visit coincided with the coldest and rainiest month of May in recorded history. Our first full day in Reykjavik was extremely cold, wet, and windy. Umbrella use was futile.
  • We shared a city bus with a group of schoolkids out on a field trip to visit the National Museum. This little boy and I were playing a game of virtual peekaboo, resulting in this unorthodox portrait (also one of my favorites).
  • We visited Reykjavik's Ocean Cluster House, the self-proclaimed "Silicon Valley of Cod Fish". Founder Thor (his real name) demonstrates some of the many innovative fish products and fishing practices his incubator of companies has developed.
  • A re-creation of a medieval Icelandic church in Reykjavik's National Museum.
  • The Hallgrimskirkja Church can be seen from almost anywhere in Reykjavik. Not much to look at itself, the church's tower offers spectacular views over the city and the harbor.
  • The impressive pipe organ in Hallgrimskirkja Church.
  • Stunning view from the top of the tower at Hallgrimskirkja Church.
  • A favorite mural among Reykjavik's thousands of pieces of street art.
  • Celeste makes a new friend during a visit to the home of a botanist and expert in natural wool dying. I forgot the botanist's name, but her dog's name is Tryggur (Icelandic for loyal).
  • Remarkable palette of wool colors, all of them dyed using natural, and mostly local, products.
  • A wool dying demonstration.
  • Chloe's first attempt at knitting.
  • At the fascinating Settlement Center chronicling the early Viking settlers, Mary takes the tiller of a Viking vessel.
  • The Settlement Center's kitchen produces a fine Icelandic meat soup, a staple dish in Iceland.
  • A short hike takes us to the summit of Mount Helgafell, a sacred hill about 250 feet high. It is believed that if one approaches this enclosure in silence and stands within it facing west, three wishes will be granted. Hope mine come true!
  • Hiking Mount Helgafell offers spectacular views.
