Somewhere I'm hoping to visit quite soon...

That's... fairly imposing. The interior looks lovely, too.

(just Googled for images, then felt the need to share this one...)

There used to be a really good pizza restaurant right near there.

You might be able to buy it. It's probably going for a song, now that the country is bankrupt..

not entirely serious, this

Hmm, that's a better picture than I got (pre-digital). You should definitely go, though - Iceland is amazing.

Cool, you did a very similar tour to the one we did except that we went all the way around Iceland, up to Myvatn and Akueyri and to the high cliff with the puffin colony in the Northwest.

Yeah, we very much did most of the "standard" tours, as we were lacking in time (we only were there four nights). The trip to Vík and across the south was an entire day job, though!

During the day, especially a dull cloudy day, it's rather less impressive because it's just grey stone and concrete but it is an impressive structure. Too bad we couldn't hang around til nightfall (which would have been around 11:00 when we were there).
Iceland is fantastic and best explored in a motorhome, even better if it's based on a rugged 4x4 because as soon as you leave the ring road you'll have to deal with really bad roads and fords.
I hope to get a scanner with film adapter at some point so I can scan my old photos from then ('92).

Das ist SUPER!

Have a good trip. Get close up pictures. The amazing german-ness of that place makes me want to compare tool markings.

Watch out for Nazgul when you visit, won't you? I love that some cultures actually *build* this mad shit instead of it just existing in the darker graphic novel/fantasy film genre. (Gaudi! Barcelona!)

It does look somewhat like minas morgul

Well, if we don't come back, you know what happened... :)

Gaudi! Barcelona!

Heh. Funnily enough, I think that was the other option we discussed for this trip...

I'd love to see La Sagrada Familia - and I will, one of these days, but this time Iceland seemed like the better option.

Ooh, when I went to Iceland I stayed in a hotel just across the way from that! Definitely best seen by night. I'd love to go back to Rekjavic - it's such a fab place!
