A glorious day in Reykjavík concluded with the grand finale of the setting sun just before midnight. We got to the Sólfar sculpture in time for this shot.

Earlier tonight we stopped by Bessastaðir again. This time I made bold to ring the bell at President Ólafur Grímsson‘s door. Nobody seemed to be in and there was no response. The mellow evening light offered another perspective on Bessastaðir.

Picture number one is really good.
Congrats!
Patience & skills at an all time high – Well done!
Incredible pictures, Rajan! They make me feel like taking off to visit Iceland right away. – Nachi
Bessastaðir disturbs me – treeless, shrubless – it seems very stark.
