Goodbye to Iceland

A happy memory of West Fiords. It's been a great trip. As the local advertising says: "Find a reason to go." Takk fyrir Islend.

8pm from my guest house window

Gotta love the long days of summer here. I'm sure the Icelanders will tonight again party like there's no tomorrow. It's crazy exhausting for me, as it's so hard to pull the blinds and go to sleep when it's light at 11pm. It's been a curious experience for sure.

Warning to cyclists

The Icelandic ponies are pretty cute, as is this joke poster in the bike barn at Keflavik airport. I'll be there tomorrow for a 5pm flight home. Weather in Reykjavik has turned blissfully sunny, even hot today. I know it can't last though. Weather back in Seattle is now consistently warm so I'm ready for a real summer.
Been fun.

Corrugated Iron done right

This one is on Bergstadastraeti. I bought a postcard by an illustrator of this one in one of the more upscale Icelandic art gift shops that crowd the downtown core. I am partial to this flamboyant use of house colors because it's a characteristic of Sydney, a city that is basically the complete opposite of Reykjavik in nearly every way.

I like the fact that the flowers in the double hanging baskets match the blue front door.
