I’ve put up some photos I took this morning while arriving in town, and also some from a brisk afternoon stroll. I’ve been up for nearly 30 hours straight now, but it was just too nice outside to pass up the opportunity to see a bit of the city.
And yes, there was a minor earthquake here in the early afternoon. It hit while I was in the shower. Now I’m just hoping we don’t get a volcanic eruption while I’m catching some shut-eye, as I’m liable to sleep right through it.
Photo thumbs and links after the jump.
Icelandic Invasion - Day One
The obligatory "I'm driving to Reykjavík, holy shit check out this awesomely desolate landscape" shot.
Looking out over the Reykjavík docks at low tide.
There's a substantial amount of landfill and construction going on at these docks.
Icelandic postal system be frontin'.
A real threat to Icelandic traffic.
Pretty mountains, looking north over Faxafloí Bay.
More mountains, northwest over Faxafloí Bay.
This little bird is the only thing brave or foolish enough to hop around in Icelandic water.
Some of the most expensive real estate in the city and the building on the left can't even keep its facing tiles on. Building on the right's really really nice though.
Just a neat little building I saw on a side street.
