Started the day by going to Hallgrimskirkja. This Cathedral was built in 1986 and is the main landmark in the city as it can be seen from just about everywhere.
Inside:
Views from the top of the tower:
From there, I went for a stroll through the park by Tjörnin lake (which is partly frozen over!)
This fella wasn't too chatty though:
At the Saga Museum, depicting some of Iceland's bloody and violent Viking history.
... well, it had to be done!
The street was painted for the Pride festival some years back and appears to be a permanent fixture now. Apparently around 100,000 people attend the summer pride event, which is astonishing when you think the population of this country is only around 360,000. Hallgrimskirkja (the Cathedral) is lit up in the background.
Yes it was windy!
