" ...though we travel the world to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us, or we find it not "

my feet, fish in the harbour and an unexpected glacier

My feet at the top of Drápuhlíðarfall (527m), the local hill. I hitched out there on a beautiful, warm day. You can see Stykkishölmur in the very far distance (about 5 k away), and island-riddled Breðafjörður (the bay) beyond.




Me at Hellnar harbour, on the S coast of the peninsula, where I ate a bowl of fish soup with my new boss and family on a drive round the peninsula the Sunday I arrived. Seems fish soup is always on the menu... odd that...





After a day of rain on our drive round the coast, the clouds cleared to reveal the Snæfellsjökull glacier, 1446m.
