Still Friday in Isafjordur

This is the trip to,  from and at the Dynjandi Waterfall.

Small tunnel through a mound.

 This is a panorama of Flateyri,  taken from the barrier built to divert an avalanche into the fjord.
The town was virtually destroyed in 1995,  and didn't fully recover.   It's a beautiful little village.

Where we've been!!

The drive along the fjord.

We stopped here to drink the water.

The moss on the lava rocks at the previous waterfall.

The entrance to a new tunnel being built.  We had to wait while some blasting was going on.

This is the waterfall we're heading for.

This is supposed to be above the photos of the gravel road!!!

This is the sign as you leave Thingeyri,  early in the trip to the waterfall.

This is before we started the climb,  just outside Thingeyri

 This is Dynjandi Waterfall.   It has about 6 smaller falls beneath it,  but they can't all be seen together.

When we'd finished our climb to the second top level,  and made it back to the car,  the guide (whose name I can't pronounce,  so I called him Bob) had some dried fish and skyr (yoghurt) for us.   The fish came with butter,  and you had to chew it,  and mix it with saliva to reconstitute it.   It turned out to be very tasty,  and we ate nearly all of what he'd brought.   The skyr was good,  too.

 This was the view from the top of the falls to the road and fjord beneath.

Swans in Iceland!!

Turf houses.

Another church - very religious people in Iceland.

 These are houses in Thingeyri.

Weird grass patterns on the mountain.
