Reykjavik viewed from our fishing boat. You can see the spire of Hallgrimskirkja, two blocks from a street called Grettisgata, where a dear friend of mine lives.
Heimaey, i.e. "Home Island," a highlight for me of my entire summer in Europe. Almost destroyed in 1973, Heimaey now shines brighter than ever, a precious jewel in the north Atlantic.
The view out my window at Karine and Matty's my last morning in Scotland, the day I headed home to Canada. Beyond those golden grasses are the ruins of a medieval castle.
