To stave off any claustrophobia the last few posts might elicit, heres the big blue sea, with the Smoke City skyline in the distance. I went on my first whale watching excursion last week, just as th...
(Id like to remind readers to use the search box at the top left corner, in the Blogger toolbar. Ive covered literally thousands of topics in the past eight years and theres a good chance Ive covered...
A mother and her daughter exit a gate on a rainy May day at Óðinns preschool, Grænaborg. He graduated yesterday in an official ceremony, complete with being called up to receive a diploma and rose, a...
She had just made me an amazing organic-coffee latte, and now my daughter Valentína set herself to the the task (art?) of making a crepe at the ice cream store on Skólavörðurstígur, Eldur og Ís (they...
Weve all seen the gorgeous photos of the Saturdays Super Moon over Reykjavík, so I thought Id give our lovely Sun some press as well. I posted this originally in May 2006, when I wrote: Ill let this ...
Another weird wonder we found just around the corner from our house, this gutted building at Frakkastígur 16, just below Kaffismiðja Íslands and the corner shop Drekinn and where the music and instru...
Thank you to those of you who commented on the previous post. Ive fully absorbed the overall message that more photos is a good thing, and Ill try to do my best to satisfy your image cravings. Im kee...
Some shots from a recent Saturday walk around the neighborhood... I dont usually share more than one or two, maybe three, pictures per post, which has helped me to really have to choose images that r...
If you havent yet or havent in a while (especially if you live here!) be sure to go up to the top of the Hallgrímskirkja tower. Its a stunning view in any weather, even on windy, stormy Sundays like ...
I seem to write this every March, but every March we seem to need to know it again: Spring is springing and Summer will come again. Promise : ) Also, if youre located on the Eastern Seaboard, w...
I like to say that English is Icelandic that went on a 1200-year journey around the world, and has now come home again. More and more often, to the chagrin of the elderly and the intellectual, Englis...
These boys at the pizza bar busted me snapping pics of them and played along, which was actually pretty cool. The girl never had a clue ( if you know who she, or the guys, are you can let them know t...
Its nearly time for Design March, or Hönnunar Mars, 2012, so Im sharing a creation of mine inspired by life with my amazing Óðinn. Living with such a rich imagination, such a boy imagination, and pla...
A national pastime :/ This location on Laugavegur used to house a super-comfy café/yoga studio. The new resident, a candy bar (please dont miss the irony in that word choice) will stay open til ...
This photo is of the Gravarvogur inlet (good article there from the Reykjavik Grapevine) looking out over to the water tanks at Grafarholt on a misty Sunday last weekend. Im considering the concept o...

I love it when a photo leads me into new internet terrain! I grew up with skaters out in California, and actually know a bunch here, so I love stopping to watch them do trix down at Ingólfstorg, the ...
Retro Iceland Eyes, first posted in February 2007 After the smá útrás, or little bit of venting I did in the last post (and by the way, thank you to all of you who took part in the discussion. I shar...
Its sometimes uncomfortable to voice anything other than a Pollyanna viewpoint on current affairs, and so I usually avoid writing about current affairs! Occasionally, though, I just have to write wha...
Retro-post from February 2010, originally titled Life: Tiny moss in macro ~.~ One of my favorite photos, from the early days of my fascination with macro. I love how tenacious life is, especially the...

Bear with us! Were freaking out again because of the weather. And no, not we as in me, personally, but as in the entire island nation. Its really cold! Its really windy! Roads are closed! Domestic fl...
Some things that make us happy: good coffee and good books. So I did a search on Iceland in G+ and of course got all sorts of lovely HDR mega-manipulated picture hits from über-superstar photogs (rea...
Yeah, I didnt get it either. They were just there, in front of Hallgrímskirkja, these big black letters, begging me to snap a shot. So I did. And I had intended to write I have no clue what this is a...
Maybe having seen so many fantastic creatures in the 13th of Christmas bonfire has opened my mind to perceiving the mythical in the most common objects, but regardless of why, once I spied the fairy ...
In lieu of a nice shot of New Years Eve fireworks, and to warm you up after yesterdays chilly post, I bring you a picture of dancing flames instead! Here Óðinn adds fuel to the fire at last nights an...
Lets not talk about the weather! But it has been exceptionally snowy so far this winter, with records set in late December and up until this morning a nice dry below zero (Celsius) windless cold that...
Its nearly as hard starting again as it was saying goodbye to this site (which I did in late October as per the post below) but not because I dont want to! Ive definitely been itching to snap picture...
To capture the true soul of a thing is an eternal challenge, one that has plagued the human race for ages, or since at least we made the disconnect between ourselves and the natural world. We attempt...
In honor of my 599th post, Im sharing the very first photo from my very first Iceland Eyes post on August 8th, 2004. Much has changed since then in all of our lives, but for me at least Iceland Eyes ...
