Photos from Iceland

PHOTOS of ICELAND



The Harbor in Reykjavik, where I sat upon arrival in Iceland, waiting for check-in at my hostel.
















The main drag in Reykjavik, called Laugavegur, with restaurants, shops, and laundry!












Peaceful protest in front of the Parliament building in Reykjavik.












Robert, this one is for you!

Note: I did not see any dog poop, and I covered just about all of Reykjavik!










Typical charming house in Iceland, made from corrugated metal, one of the main industrial outputs of Iceland.

Can anyone tell me how to rotate photos with this blog application?









Picturesque row of homes in Reykjavik, with Viking horse statue in the foreground.














Videy Island, a wildlife sanctuary, that hosts a seasonal World Peace light/art installation from Yoko Ono.













Snapshot of Reykjavik on a sunny day.















A lingerie store...check out the website url! The .is represents the Icelandic domain.















A statue on the walking path along the harbour in Reykjavik. I think these lovely purple flowers are lupine. The country has scattered patches of them in bloom across the low landscape. Gorgeous!









Me covered in silica at the Blue Lagoon, Iceland's most famous geothermal 'hot pot'. The algae and the silica are excellent for your skin!

Peace!

  3. You have to rotate the pictures in a photo program. Here's a free one:

    photoscape

    and some on-line photo editing programs:

  4. Holly - you can also rotate the picture on the camera before you download it to the computer. If you need help figuring it out, just let me know which camera you have and I'll find you step by step directions.

    Hugs and Kisses!
