Wee, last night it started snowing and this morning it was awesome. Here's a boring movie of my walk to work :) Note UV scrolling groundplane \o/

The last two nights we've had some faint Northern Light above Reykjavik, much to everyone's surprise. Here's a few pics, they're not that great, but well, I was caught off guard. Read: I have no idea (yet) how to photograph these things properly.

I forgot to take pics of anything pre-20th century. Oh well.

More sightseeing around the corner...

A few touristy images of the city itself, perhaps?

Early November the days were still long enough to get a bus to Mount Esja and do a little hike. Esja is the ridge you could spot in the background on previous pics, and since it's only about 1.000 meters, it's a healthy walk but nothing too crazy, ahem.

Here's a nice timelapse video made by a CCP colleague, at CPP on New Year's Eve. Check it out in fullscreen!

Last week we had the shortest day of the year, like everywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere. With a sunrise at 11:22 and a sunset at 15:30, that's just over four hours of daylight on the 22nd of December, 2009. I thought it might be interesting to take my camera to work and take pictures throughout the day to show you what that looks like in reality...

Višey is a small island off the coast of Reykjavik; a five minute ferry trip and you're there. It still succeeds in getting you away from the "city", even though it's basically just a couple of smallish hills and vegetation made of dry sticks. It's a nice walk to follow the encircling trail, and enjoy the amazing view.

Right now I'm about 6 weeks behind on the blog --not too bad, it used to be four months-- but yesterday I was off on a walk and "discovered" that our local pond, Tjörnin, has frozen over. Probably for some time already. Mmyeah, I got sidetracked and never made it to wherever I was going. So I thought I'd jump the queue and show these asap, so at least you get an idea of what it looks like right here, right now. These pics were taken between 15:00 and 15:30...
