Favorite Corners - Reykjavik

Although the temperature was a mild 10 degrees Celsius, it felt down right chilly after our time dabbling in the Southern European sun. Our cold gear made a final encore appearance.  Donning winter jackets and thermal layers, we took to the streets of this unusual city that has summers of continual daylight, homes heated with geothermal steam, and the occasional whiff of sulfur in the air.

Laugavegur Street is the main shopping street, but what we found more interesting was the neat graffiti found around the city.

This felt very true during our time here. 

Rain and a statue garden make for some beautiful shots. 

Icelandic people are very proud of their Viking heritage and their stance on equal rights, so it's fitting that their statue of the first Viking wears lipstick. 

Hallgrímskirkja is the largest church in Iceland and a very eye-catching landmark.

The midnight sun...not quite as bright as regular daylight, but definitely not dark.  We are still a few weeks away from the Secret Solstice festival where it's 96 hours straight of concerts and daylight.

These Lundinn puffin stores were everywhere.   

The conference centre inspired by the northern lights.

The port area is full of ships going in and out to sea. 

This isn't snow.  It's leftover foam from street cleaning.
