Iceland

Day one -- walking around Reykjavik.  Not sure what this building is because we were still trying to figure out the map, but I think this is a government building.


Details on a building in the shopping center.


"Downtown" Reykjavik


Statue of Leif Erikson



this statue is in front of Hallgrimskirkja.  It is the most famous church in Reykjavik and also quite ugly, if you ask me.  It was commissioned to honor a famous clergyman/poet from Iceland and has a statue of an explorer in front of it.


Inside of the church


view of the town from the tower.




More to come...

OMG those are wonderful pictures. I really like the church inside even if the outside is unconventional. Do you wish you could have stayed longer?

Yes, I wish we had a couple more days so we could have seen more of the country.
