Happy Monday!
Our weekend was spent outside taking full advantage of the amazing weather we have been having. Iceland may not be the hottest place but when the sun shines it sure is strong! I will just say it is possible to get sunburnt in the Arctic.
Since the sun is streaming through my windows this morning I can’t focus long enough to write a post so instead I am letting the pictures from my phone do the talking. From a wedding in the South of Iceland to sunny days in Reykjavik it has been one wonderful week.
Our cabin we stayed in last weekend in the South of Iceland. Such a beautiful area, the views are stunning.
A real Icelandic countryside party, complete with an old barn, guitar playing and everyone in traditional Icelandic sweaters.
The old church the wedding was in. In traditional Icelandic weddings men and women sit on opposite sides during the ceremony. The bride and groom also sit on opposite sides next to their fathers while the ceremony is conducted by the priest and not until the end do they come together and stand in the middle. It was an interesting wedding experience!
The beach behind my work. If the sun is out this place is packed.
I love walking around the harbor on sunny days and looking at all the boats.
An evening run with views of the always beautiful Esjan.
My neighbor has the most beautiful flowers in her yard!
On windy days this part of the sea is full of windsurfers. Not sure if I would ever be brave enough to try windsurfing here in Iceland but the are fun to watch.
The midnight sun setting at 2am over downtown Reykjavik. If only I could stay up this late all the time so I could always watch this gorgeous sunset!
I am off to enjoy more of these amazing views of Reykjavik before I have to head back to work tomorrow. Have a great week everyone!
Question of the Day?
Have you ever experience wedding traditions different than the ones you are use to? What is your favorite way to spend a sunny day?
