Iceland has trees
I offer this as evidence:
... As well as this:
These were taken in the Elliðaárdalur valley, in the east end of Reykjavík, a couple of weekends ago, when the leaves were just starting to change colour and the sun was turning everything golden and sublime. Ellðaárdalur is one of Reykjavík's most lovely spots; it even has a salmon river running through it:
Incidentally, just after taking this picture:
... from approximately the same spot as the last one, I walked a few metres along the river and managed to lose the battery from my camera.* I searched and searched until I was starting to attract attention [i.e. some creepy guy kept cycling back and forth, evidently interested in my activities] but to no avail. So if you find yourself in that precise spot, and you happen upon a little grey cylinder that looks like it contains toxic materials, kindly notify YT. It's probably mine.
TODAY'S WEATHER IS NOT AS DELIGHTFUL
... as the weather above, although the sun is out. It's damn windy, that's why. And winds from the north, to boot, which means it's miserably cold. But don't mind me - I'm still suffering from severe endorphin withdrawals since I can't go out for a run on account of this cold I've been having so I'm in a grumpy mood. Temps currently 3°C [and a lot less with windchill] and the sun came up at 08.20 and sets at 18.05.
* The flap was loose. AAH was using the cam to take pouty teenager pics with her friends and dropped it on the floor.
PS - in case you were here earlier and you're wondering why I made the pics smaller... I'm fiddling with my template and doing a bit of experimenting and I suspect the size of the pics is causing a bit of trouble. Obviously you can click on them for a larger version.
