Hafnarfjörður & Reykjavík – Iceland Part 4

Hafnarfjörður

This is a town in the lava as it rests on a 7000 yr old flow.

Do you know many still believe that their country is populated by hidden races of little folks? Many icelandic have this small wooden elf house for the little people in their garden. How sweet. Hafnarfjorour is believed to lie at the confluence of several strong ley lines meaning mystical lines of energy and seems to be particularly rife with these creatures.

Siggubaer. Built in 1902 and preserved to as an example of the home of a labourer and a seaman.

Sivertsen house is the oldest house in town built in 1803 – 1805. It shows how an upper class family at the beginning of 19th century.

Viking village

I like that sign!

Reykjavík

Old harbour

Hallgrimskirkja the concrete church

Check out that 5272 pipe organ.

Light a candle. Do not let the darkness prevent you from seeking the light. And when you have found it, let other people see, rethink and be convinced. If you want the light to live then give rise to the same yearning in other people. Light the light of frankness in the darkness of fear, light the light of justice in the darkness of corruption, light the light of faith in the darkness of denial, light the light of hope in the darkness of despair, light the light of love in the darkness of death. Light the light! Hahaha

Hofdi House built in 1909 is what to them the most beautiful building in Reykjavik. It is here where the summit meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbatsjov marked the end of cold war. There is rumours saying that a ghost ‘White Lady’ occupied this place…
