It has taken me a few weeks, but at last here are the final pictures from my trip to Iceland, with everything from reflections in a quiet lake, to strange lava formations, or views of the ocean and views of the countryside. There is also a category of miscellaneous, where I put pictures I like but don’t know how to categorize. I hope you enjoyed my trip to Iceland. I did.

I still have more pictures from Iceland to show you, even though I have been home for two weeks. I have realized that I can either sort pictures and update my website, or I can get out of the house, do fun things, and take more pictures. I have opted for the taking more pictures and am getting further behind with updating my website.
Here are photos of flowers in Iceland – some are familiar and some are quite unknown. I like them, and I hope you do, too.

The state church in Iceland is Lutheran. While driving through Iceland we passed many little villages that had a white church with a red roof, and someone suggested maybe that was the only kind of church they build in Iceland. Eventually we did see some churches that were different. The Hallgrim’s Church in Reykjavík is certainly a notable exception.

Here are some of my favorite photos of waterfalls in Iceland. I love waterfalls, and could spend hours just watching and listening to them them.

Last week, I sailed on the sailing ship Norðlýsið from Tórshavn to the island of Hestur for a concert in a sea-cave. During the summer there is a “grotto concert” on Hestur every week. When I saw that Dávur Juul Magnussen would be playing, I knew I had to go. Earlier this year, I downloaded the Faroese Symphony Orchestra New Year’s concert onto my computer from the Kringvarp internet, and played the music while I was babysitting for my grandson. He loves the trombone solo and asks me to play it over and over (and over and over). Tomorrow will be his second birthday, but he has good taste in music.
I didn’t get any photos of the actual concert. It is hard to do in a dark wet cave, especially since I had to climb up a rather steep, slippery cliff inside the dark cave. I decided not to jeopardize my camera, and left it safely in my backpack. I made it back to the boat with one skinned knee and a couple of bruises, but my camera was fine.
