It’s been a bit of a busy week, and I’m getting used to the time schedule here, so I’ve had less of a chance to randomly hike about the city. I’ve also exhausted a lot of the more immediately interesting subjects in the downtown area, with a few notable exceptions. In particular, I’m waiting for a nice clear day to photograph Hallgrimskirkja, preferably after they tear the scaffolding off it.

That said, I should have some very nice stuff over the weekend.

Five photos after the jump.

Yup, it may be Monday but I still managed to snag some shots. Fortunately there’s several routes I can take around the city, and even the smaller streets will occasionally yield an interesting photo.

After the picture extravaganza on Saturday, Sunday was a little more sedate, but I did take a couple of photos now and then. I’ll try to get a writeup of the weekend done at some point soon.

Okay, here’s the big one. About 40 photographs from a long afternoon walk around the city, culminating in a visit to the Perlan, the hot-water tanks built on a hill overlooking the city. The Icelanders got the wise idea to put a big viewing deck on top of the tanks and open it to everyone, as well as preserving a decently-sized park area around it.

Be warned, lots of pics after the jump.

Another roll of photographs from Iceland, featuring an early morning stroll around the deserted city center and then more randomness while walking a winding path in the general direction of the office.

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.
