I've been living in Reykjavik for five years now. I've seen storms, blizzards, and all kinds of weather here. Winters usually are mild but stormy and snow isn't a frequent guest. Surprisingly, this year winter is quite different.

I'm a new lomographic photographer, discovering the Diana with fun and lot of pleasure!!! i brought my camera to Iceland, taking pictures with no idea if some would work or not... (well, everybody knows that the Diana is a bit capricious... definitely fun, but capricious...). i enjoyed moving in reykjavik and around trying to remember what i shot, switching from a digital photographer mind to a new one, loading films and taking them off with the feeling that something good was going on... this was my first rolls with a plastic camera...

The National Church of Iceland or as we Icelandic tourist say "Þjóðkirkjan", is truly Lutheran. As so there is not much of the glamor and the whole „passion of the Christ“ hollywoodesque show you maybe would expect in catholic regions. No, Iceland is rough and plain and so are the churches.

Ever been to a Stratovulcano? No? You don't even know what it is? Common! Stay with me and climb onto one of the madest glaciers of Iceland.

A music festival in downtown Reykjavík where some of the world's most exciting bands play alongside Icelandic artists!

Hvaleyri is a flat, ear-shaped peninsula at the south shore of Hvalfjörður in Iceland. It's a perfect place to take a walk by the seaside, enjoy beautiful landscape, and observe birds.

Viðey is a small island, just a five-minute boat ride from Reykjavik. Today it is best known for the Imagine Peace Tower - a memorial to John Lennon from Yoko Ono.

My most favorite thing to do for a Christmas vacation is to leave Reykjavik and spend some time in a cabin. Nature, lovely company, great food, board games, and my camera...this is the best combination for a great vacation!

Since Reykjavik is a very small capital you really can walk to Hallgrímskirkja on foot. And hence it’s so huge you probably see the tip of it from every point of the city. Interesting how the Icelandic people deal with religion. Surely it means a great deal to the people if you live on a cold rock with nothing on but ice. But with their special and awkwardly great sense for style and design they have set their mark even on the architecture of sacred places.

A city of just over 120,000, home to almost half of the population of Iceland, Reykjavik is a modern European city with traditional charm, offering a little of everything to a wandering traveler. The cafes serve wonderful coffee, delicious chocolate cake and cold Viking beer.

The Reykjavik City Library is one of my favorite places in the town. I seek shelter there when I need some peace and quiet. It is also a great place to see the works of local artists, rent a movie or have some coffee while reading magazines from all over the world.

It's not a big secret that there aren't many trees in Iceland. Even one of the country’s oldest jokes is: "What do you do if you get lost in an Icelandic forest?" - "Stand up." Luckily the situation is changing. Elliðaárdalur is a great example of reforestation.

Iceland surely is a strange place. One of the most astonishing sites is the blue lagoon. Well. It's a hot thermal source. But it's more than that. It lay in the middle of a field of volcanic stones, a rough moon-like field. The Bath is close to the seaside, that's why there are Sea-Minerals in the water and on you. It's a habit to put a white mineral-paste on you skin.

Я живу в Рейкьявике вот уже как 5 лет. Здесь я видела штормы, метели и другие прелести погоды. Зимы обычно мягкие, но ветреные, а снег тут редкий гость. Удивительно, но эта зима была совсем другой.

Не секрет, что в Исландии очень мало деревьев. Существует даже такая старая шутка: "Что делать, если вы заблудились в исландском лесу?" - "Встать на ноги." К счастью, ситуация меняется. И Эдлидааурдалюр (Elliðaárdalur) является прекрасным примером восстановления лесных массивов.

저는 레이캬바크에 5년 째 살고 있답니다. 저는 여기서 폭풍우와 눈보라 그리고 모든 종류의 날씨를 보았어요. 겨울은 주로 따듯해서 폭풍우와 눈은 그리 자주 찾아오는 손님이 아니랍니다.놀랍게도, 이번 겨울은 꽤 달랐어요.

Fast alle, die Island besucht haben, schwören sich bei der Abreise, dass sie wiederkommen. Da sind wir keine Ausnahme, das Land hat es uns genauso angetan wie wohl den meisten Besuchern.
