It may be the land of the midnight sun, but my sister and I arrived precisely 1 month too late to experience 48 hours of solid daylight. It still took me long enough to adjust to the extremely long days despite enjoying pretty long days in Edinburgh – well, that is if the clouds ever let up to remind me that there is actually a sun, and therefore day, out there…
Too excited to retire to our accommodation after dinner on the evening of our arrival to Iceland, we decided to have mosey down to Reykjavik’s Harbour and Harpa Concert Hall & Conference Centre.
Note: this is well after 11pm.
I love it 
And so began our trip to Iceland, where the adjective “epic” was thoroughly overused to the point we had to ban ourselves from using it after only day 2 of our 10-day trip!
I have only managed to see Reykjavik from its airport, but having spent time in Helsinki during their summer I loved the experience of long days. It was an “epic” experience as well!
Hi BT – I guess your visits to the airport were a result of stop-overs from the US to Europe? Helsinki is a beautiful city – I can easily see why that would have been “epic” too
Those facades are awesome! Great photos! When I was in Norway, we experienced the opposite of the midnight sun, midday ‘evening’
Thanks Tonito – I had some fun maximising out my polarizing filter
Mid-day evening, now there’s a thought. I guess I would find myself down at the local pub soon enough…. toasting my tootsies by the open fire and all that!
I really want to go to Iceland!
You’d love it Debra – rock sculptures galore of a completely different nature to those that you saw in Sardinia!
Haha @ your comment about banning the word epic…
(We couldn’t help ourselves, we ended up using it again and again… and again!)
Is it quiet up there? It looks peaceful, unlike the USA
Hi Sherman – it was blissfully peaceful… some more touristy hubs were bustling enough, but not enough to make it unpleasant, by any means.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment
Great photos! It’s so beautiful! And lonely…))
Is it cold there?
Hi 42travel – thanks for the lovely comment
It wasn’t too cold… not after the “summer” we’ve been having in the UK – this was pretty much the same!!
Realy? How many degrees is it now there?

Hi Trish – thank you so much for the invitation – I’ll give it some thought
Iceland has long been on my list of places to see. I am SO jealous!
Lisa, you would LOVE Iceland!!
Not only is there so much beauty and natural science to keep you interested for ages, the weather/temperatures would suit you perfectly
I love your pictures ,the last time I’ve been to Reykyavik that concert hall was 90% complete.I miss Blue Lagoon & the Irish Pub.=)
Thanks Michael, I’m also missing the Blue Lagoon – as for the Irish Pub, I’m just going to have to take your word for it!
Go! then tell me what you think?
Might be a while before I get that opportunity!
Very,very nice!!!!
