Returning to Reykjavik, I parked by the harbor. You may remember one of the first images of the ship “Steffano”, some two weeks earlier (https://matchgrun.com/blog/2024/11/28/iceland-2024/). The hull had been painted.
The hull had been sand-blasted and re-painted. Also, those silver blocks below the waterline are sacrificial anodes (probably zinc), to reduce rusting of the steel hull. Here is a side view of this trawler, with workers busy with their tasks. At the bows, the height of this ship is about 15m (about 48 feet).
My trip to Iceland was coming to an end. So, later that night, I made some images along the waterfront. In this image below, the Harpa Concert Hall is lit up. The lighting various with a kaleidoscope for colors at night.
It had rained earlier that evening, so I made some images the include reflections of the window lights in a water puddle on the pavement.
I continued along the waterfront to the Sunset Warrior. This sculpture is lit be sodium lights, hence the yellow lighting in this image.
I also included some detail of the oars.
Early next morning, after leaving the hostel, I headed towards Þingfellir on the Golden Circle route. Making a detour on that sub-zero (freezing) morning, I discovered the Þorufoss. Although I had traveled this road previously, I never noticed these waterfalls. Several early morning visitors had stopped at the parking lot, so I was curious!
Here is a closer view of the falls.
After leaving the falls, I continued along the mountain road to find this scene, where there is a snow-covered amphitheater. Somewhere close to this location is a ski resort, that I had discovered a couple of weeks earlier on the other side of the mountains.
That was one of the final images that I made on this trip, before returning to Keflavik to return the rental car and proceed to the airport.
