Cold but beautiful days

The year 2010 starts with cold but beautiful weather here in Iceland.


The land is frozen, the ocean is "irritated" but the mountains are still there bathed in the wonderful wintersun.

Mt. Esja seen from Reykjavík. It stands like a guardian to shelter our capital city from the northern wind.

 Between the mountains we see a glimpse of the fjord Hvalfjörður, like a faraway dream.

The little island Viðey, just off the coast of Reykjavík and Mt. Esja in the background.

Happy New Year Rags. Some very lovely photos you have taken of Iceland. Thanks for sharing them with us. It does not seem like you have very much snow. You should see the snow we have. I just posted some pics on my blog. Hugs Judy

Thank you Judy, and happy new year! No this was all the snow we have had this winter, here in the SW corner of the country.
I will check your blog and see :-)
