@iamharaldur @iamharaldur my mom, son and I truly had a most amazing lunch with you at Anna Jóna yesterday. You created this wonderful place (and you also distracted my son so I could enjoy my food and drink, which is the best kind of solidarity to an exhausted toddler mom ;)
Thank you!

@matthiasarni Hahah nope certainly not. But wow the town really likes a scene!

Goodbye to this iconic (albeit derelict) building. I really hope nobody was injured during this fire. Stay safe, Hafnarfjörður neighbors.

@BlautirSokkar I have been trying to find this episode all day 😭

“Do you hold your breath along the length of the aluminum factory?” is a project I’m working on for Ljósmyndaskólinn. I am researching this place and its impact on the culture of the surrounding area. Do you have any stories/memories related to Álverið í Straumsvík?

@TinaStSebastian Hahahah I haven’t seen this one! Thank you!

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@Hellil It definitely has an ominous presence.

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@Raeningjadottir The trickery!!!

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@jonolason Thank you! I’m not a fan either, but very mystified by it nonetheless…

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@AggiBogg Oh my!! When circa was this?

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@Ormury Hahaha wow! I really hope you still have that medal 🥈

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@ingaausa I love that! I can almost hear it. Thank you for sharing :)

[Mid-Century Iceland @midcenturyice]

@Einfrumungur Oh I haven’t heard that one! That’s interesting, it’s almost the same amount of pictures I took passing by. (I think there were 21)
