| Northeast from Akranes, western Ísland. | A view eastward of Reykjavík Harbor. The large pale house on the left is Höfðihús, where Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev held conference in (I think) 1986. | A homestead, seen while riding the ferry from Reykjavík to Akranes. View to the east. |
| Downtown Reykjavík. Austursræti Mall, if I remember correctly. | Outdoor chess near the mall. | To the left of the image called reyk1.jpg (southwest of the mall) is the lake, Tjörnin; which means "The Lake." It is a wonderful place to bring children to feed the ducks and swans. |
| Reykjavík, and all of Iceland, is a very good and safe place for children. | Outdoor sculpture is common in Reykjavík, and is a bit more sturdy and avant-garde than is found in other Scandinavian nations. | Looking northward from the Alþing (all-thing, or parliament) at merchant and government buildings. Behind me on the other side of Alþing is the lake, Tjörnin. |
| A view of a lighthouse on Reykjanes (southwest from Reykjavík). | A waterfall at Þingvellir (Thing-vell-ear). A rift in the lava protects a grassy valley from wind; making it one of the more pleasant areas. At this place, once each year, hundreds of years ago, a law-speaker recited all of the laws to the assembled people. Also at this gathering were settled disputes between clans. |
| Þórisjökull. Thor's Glacier. West central iceland, northeast from Reykjavik about two hour's driving. | Fissures in the ice. |
| the road to Þórisjökull. | Vogastapa, near Keflavík, southwest from Reykjavík. The Lupines are a delight, the air is clear, and thousands of birds come here to nest each summer. |
