Iceland

What with it being unusually cold, the Jarðböð thermal pools in Mývatn are a good place to warm up.   The whole zone is alive with geo-thermal activity, sulphurous vents pumping out hot gases everywhere.  This photo was taken at around 14.30 and the Sun has pretty much had enough of today already.

You must remember to continually sumerge your head to melt the ice crystals that have grown on your head. Real-time frosted tips inside the ride.

After spending a night in Egilsstaðir we took the Embulance over the high pass and down to Seyðisfjörður where we are waiting for the boat to arrive and take us to the Faroe Islands.

 Due to bad weather it has been delayed, we expect to leave at some point on Friday.

Luckily Seyðisfjörður is a beautiful small fishing port and a nice place to hold tight until our ride arrives. There is a chance we will be grounded in the Faroe Islands if the the weather plays up, I can think of worse places to be stranded...

Icelandic Teaser

Currently in Mývatn on the North-east coast of Iceland with my sister  - spent the day driving from Reykjavík to these parts over the last 24 hours. Tempreature has hit -15 but we managed to warm up in a thermal spring.

More upon my return...

Christmas is Bach.

As it's the first day of December I thought that it would't go amiss to lay down Bach's Christmas Oratorio.

It's big time and I'm sure the lyrics say  'the holiday's are coming! the holiday's are coming!'  


No, really.

why not.

Arvo Pärty

It's always a good time for Arvo Pärt but particularly nice when it is colder outside. Some of the most beautiful music ever written.

The Calming Peace of a Cloudless Sky (via drugs).

Bizarre to think that a solution to stress in the 50's was so chemcially brazen. Amazing promo video for an anxiety drug produced by Pfizer.

Steam Engine made of Glass...

Is this actually interesting?

It's interesting.
