Being an impressionistic scrapbook of photos, not all of great quality, taken during a week in May 2015.

Site visit to Glymur,
in spring sunshine, but everywhere still looking brown and wintry.
Quick look at the view outside the workshop...
...then a longer look at the view inside. Alert readers of this blog will notice a pile of steel treads which by now should be on Eldborg, but which remain here despite a second attempt at installation earlier this month (again snowed off).
Getting equipment ready for the coming season.

| Jazz at Kex |
Site visit to Dyrholaey, where Darwin Award candidates dick about on the cliff edge, even dangling their legs over it ...
...despite the cliff having recently fallen in, taking some of the path with it. A year or two back, a couple were on a section which fell in a similar collapse. Miraculously, the landslide was arrested by a ledge before it reached the bottom and they survived.

| A little church... |

| ...with some lovely singing inside |
Travel to Hólar, 370-odd km north of Reykjavik.
Hólar in Hjaltadalur was the Epicopal See for Northern Iceland from the early 12th century. Its schools and education date back to that time. Today the university college specialises in equestrianism, fishery and tourism.
....the intellectual standard soars,
WhysWhys takes it to a whole new level.
Practical fieldwork: boardwalks through a wetland area.
Stone work: step building and path repair on a hiking trail.
A northern paradise: Hólar has its own micro brewery and pub. WhysWhys has been known to get lost on the way home from here despite it only being 200m.
