Reykjavik daily photo

Lækjartorg (=the square by the stream).  Photo taken from the inside of the coffee shop "te og kaffi"

Pink footed geese! These magnificent birds can be seen in many parks in Reykjavik, walking fearless in residential areas and streets.  There is a global population of about 280.000 birds and they are migratory: they live in Iceland, Greenland and Svalbard and are wintering in Britain, Netherlands and Denmark.

This is 10:20 a.m. In the corner where  Laugavegur (the central/main street of the city center)  meets  Frakkastigur (a street named by the French Hospital that still stands there, which was built by France for the many French sailors who fell sick while fishing cod in Icelandic waters). Reykjavik wakes up late all year round, even later in winter!

Bankastræti.  This little street is the center of the center of Reykjavik, always full of tourists.

 Hverfisgata street at 9:20 (morning).  There is yellow alert in whole Iceland for 24 hours- strong winds (75-100 km/hour) and rain. Almost over now.

This is 23 December at 18:30. Christmas Carols in front of the Jólakötturinn (the Christmas Cat)  who is said to eat little children if they don't get new clothes for christmas!

This is the small lake Tjörnin ("the lake") in the center of Reykjavik in a rare occasion: the mirror effect was created by a thin layer of water over the ice.
