Reflecting

Following the coastline along Ísafjarðardjúp, we stopped for coffee and to look for seals on the skerries.

We waited for the rain to stop before we left the car, and we were greeted by this gorgeous rainbow over the fjord.

We could see it's reflection in the still water, and a sharp eye can catch a ghostly double, just visible on the right.

Litlibær, between Hestfjörður and Skötufjörður in the Westfjords of #Iceland.

Vättarnas Armé/Army of the Vættir (2025)

I caught a glimpse of these guys shortly after hearing about the Greenland stuff for the first time back in January 2025. I thought they were vättar (Icelandic: vættir), but people informed that vättar are actually usually smaller. I asked around and someone told me that these might be nissar. Anyway, beings (väsen) of this nature rarely show themselves at all, so I was quite shocked.

I’ve been after this shot for a very, very long time. Taken on a meandering walk home from the bar.

Many intelligent creatures play, when hunger is satisfied they look for pastimes.

These beautiful animals were racing each other through the water, their sleek bodies leaping and, instead of the simple "surface and breath" behaviour, they were making splashes.

Surely, they were doing it for fun?

There was a time when we had better leaders in the US and the Soviet Union.

An important meeting was in this house in Reykjavík, Iceland in 1986 between Reagan and Gorbatsjev. This was maybe the beginning of the end of the cold war and also the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.

I think of that meeting every time I drive past this house on the way to work in Iceland.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/115962166620353999

This is great news.

In Iceland and Norway we have been fortunate enough to have plenty of hydro power, so use of oil has been mostly related to cars and ships. Both countries have taking large steps towards EVs, with sales of EVs at 95% in Norway at this time.

The goal should be to be as independent from oil as we can be.
