Driving north from Reykjavik, we quickly find mountains in the background

Pleasant surroundings, but the restaurant is closed. Too early in the season

Still within bus distance of Reykjavik

First of many pullouts used for photography

DSN_2596

Pretty towns on the edges of the fjord

DSN_2604

Great views from the house

Junction of 60 and 690, where they built a road right across the fjord

Here is a photosphere of that spot

Our trusty Kia Sorrento, with auto trans and AWD, kept us safe and warm. Studded snow tires!

Power lines crossing Þorskafjordur

Photosphere of the power line anchors

Another view of our car, expensive at $100/day, but worth every penny! We took all the insurances

View east from the other side of Þorskafjordur

View of Rt 60 that we had driven up

Small neat farms in the distance

Photosphere of Þorskafjordur

Starting to descend along another fjord

Odd harvesters sitting in the water

Maybe to catch very slow, stupid fish?

The first of many unidentified waterfalls in WestFjords.

Many small islands south of WestFjords

Try again, with a foreground rock for interest!

Slightly different view of the waterfall

Arrived on Patreksfjörður, visiting the harbor

Lovely older fishing boats in Patreksfjörður

More modern boats nearby

Some really beautiful larger fishing boats

Sun gradually setting over Patreksfjörður

Looking south across Patreksfjörður, the fjord, not the town. More remote over on that side!

Sun setting over the creamy sea in Patreksfjörður

We got a Kinder egg set at the Duty Free store at Keflavik!

Had some fun photographing these guys in the window at sunset. Superwide...

Regular wide angle

Some close up action

More fun

Let's play!

Hai!

Grunt! These got stolen out of our luggage on the way home from Reykjavik. :(

Skateboarding in the sunset

I ate a lot of chocolate that night!

More sunset from our room in the FossHotel WestFjords
