Note: This is Seyðisfjörður in the Westfjords, not to be confused with the more well-known fjord and village of the same name in the Eastfjords on the other side of the island.

Taken yesterday at the thread ceremony of my nephew Yash. The Facebook generation comes of age. (Point driven home by the subtle placement of a toy made by a company named after a fruit.)

How about the officiating priest(s)? Did they tweet during the ceremony?
p.s. Here in Madras, the priests I know have graduated to androids and iPads.
Very sweet and innocent looking face a great photo.
A felicitous composition!
