The lightness of the sky at all hours is confusing. I didn't go to bed last night until late (after 12) because I was chatting in the lobby of my hostel till midnight - you could hardly tell it was that late because the sun had only set around 21h30/22h00. So, naturally, I slept in this morning! One of my roommates (of which there were 2, in a 10 person dorm) left at 4am to catch a flight, the other disappeared before I was awake. I slept with a mask last night, so I think that partly why I slept so late - I didn't get woken up by the sun! (which I gather rises not long after 5...)
This time I headed right when I left the hostel, same as the first day, but I walked along the waterfront this time, past the Iceland Photography Museum (which was closed ): and proceeded along the water until I couldn't take the realllllly strong winds anymore, and I headed inland past a KFC (ewwww), through an industrial park, past a really cool museum/house with metal sculptures, the HI City, a waterpark - year-round outdoors! (I think, and there were lots of people there!), through the Reykjavik bus station, the Perlan (Pearl in Icelandic, a nifty building that has a museum, a restaurant and a 360 deck! The latter part was pretty cool because there's good visibility in every direction!) then back towards my hostel via primarily residential streets. The latter inspired some of today's shots!
(again, probably more or less listed from the bottom up)
The initial image is of a container ship, and was taken from near the metalworks/museum area (in the industrial park), the second is a statue I saw on the metalworks property.
The third image is of the historical Icelandic church Hallgrimskirkja, taken from on top of the Perlan.
oh, did I mention it snowed?! and that today was a national holiday? Its the first day of spring, so the children weren't in school, and most shops were closed.
