Iceland

Freeways leading into and out of Reykjavik

Placards or cut outs of sheep and cows propped up on the hill

Outside of Reykjavik are found the rolling meadows of the verdant Borgarfjordur agriculture district where also are found hot springs. As you can see in the photo Iceland is more green I believe than Ireland in the spring and summer months of the year.

Mist clouds shroud the countryside in green and white colors.

The bight color green is every where with the rain and misty climate of the island.

To get from one part of the island to the other tunnels have been bored through mountains.

Great grazing land abounds all around

The Magic waterfalls of Hraunfossar a 2,900 foot stretch of lava where crystal clear springs splash through rocks and birch scrub before tumbling into a river that appears beneath the lava's edge.

Barnafoss water falls

The next 2 photo slides explains some history of the bridge you are seeing. See the Historical notes on the second slide for the story of the bridge.

See the next slide for a larger version of the Historical Notes

Interesting wall ornament of types of cows

We stopped by the side of the road and several of us climbed up into the volcanic rock ledge to look across the countryside.

Van we are traveling in and the trailer behind with luggage.
