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\/<\/a>). The hull had been painted.<\/p>\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

I continued along the waterfront to the Sunset Warrior. This sculpture is lit be sodium lights, hence the yellow lighting in this image.<\/p>\n\n\n

I also included some detail of the oars.<\/p>\n\n\n

Early next morning, after leaving the hostel, I headed towards \u00deingfellir on the Golden Circle route. Making a detour on that sub-zero (freezing) morning, I discovered the \u00deorufoss. 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!<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
