Akureyri

Early flight to Akureyri. We looked at it only a bit before driving on to Myvatn (another beautiful drive), but looked around some more on our way back.
Pretty Akureyri, on the Eyjafjörður, the longest fjord in Iceland. The picture is looking along the length of the fjord, the town being on a thumb of landing sticking out into it. The Akureyrarkirkja was desinged by the same architect who did the Halgrimmskirkja in Reykjavik. Akureyrarkirkja Quaint old house

Water bird, but what? Road leading up the eastern side of the Eyjafjörður After turninig inland (westwards), we came down into a gorgeous valley. Green and white, valley and mountains
A farm stands on the narrow plain below erosion patterns on the green mountainside. A small stream has cut a steep valley On the road to Mývatn, Goðafoss is one of the many scenic waterfalls we saw. It's big too.
