Snowbird 25/26 In Search of Horses

Before Christmas I headed out to the Salt River and the hills north of the river in search of the horses.  Unfortunately after 3 hours and 6 miles of hiking up and down the hills and along the river I was both shutout and plumb tuckered out.  That has rarely happened (the shutout part) however this year they seem to have changed their grazing patterns.  I will go back out again after the new year.  I did however get a few nice landscape shots.

Iceland May 26/25 Day 1

This past spring we took a trip to Iceland.  As usual it has taken me a while to get to editing the pictures but here it goes. 

After a sleepless night on a plane that was too hot and seats that were well worn and far too close together we arrived in Reykjavik.  It was 8:30 AM their time but 2:30 AM our time and we were unable to check into our hotel until the afternoon.  We checked our luggage and spent the morning walking the streets.  

We found the famous Rainbow Road and the Hallgrimskirkja Church.  We had breakfast at the Loki Cafe and were able to check into our hotel around noon.   That afternoon we had booked a walking tour of Reykjavik so we grabbed a much needed nap before heading back out.

Our favourite restaurant. 

I challenge you to pronounce the street name

We found a great bake shop with very colourful exterior decor.
