The basement


I stopped by an abandoned house on my way to Reykjavik on Sunday and checked it out. This was the basement, everything covered in ice and one bed :o)

LOL... ég held að ég myndi ekki vilja sofa í þessu rúmi... no matter what! Lítur pínku óþægilega út og svo er ég ferleg kuldaskræfa :D Og hvað er rúmið að gera í kjallaranum? Þetta er eins og sena úr hryllingsmynd... algjörlega í anda Stephen King! Skemmtileg mynd sem vekur upp fullt af spurningum :o) Flott að sjá gárurnar í klakanum, minnir mann á þegar maður var á skautum í denn :o)

Takk Begga. Ég held ég myndi nú ekki heldur vilja sofa þarna... no matter what! :o) Það er eitthvað meira drasl í kjallaranum og ég held nú að þessu hafi bara verið hent þarna en hefur sjálfsagt ekki verið notað til gistingar :o)

Very uncomfortable, I suspect! And rather cold too! I wonder who was the last person to sleep there...

Thank you Nigel. I don't know who was the last person to sleep there, but I guess it was a looong time ago :o)

Oh my god... another old, abandoned and crazy place. Ice in a house... you can't find such a curio in Germany ;-) My first idea: iceskating in the bedroom :-D

Thank you Sandra. Iceskating would probably be more fun than sleeping there :o)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you Nada. There are a lot of old abandoned houses here in Iceland where people has just moved form the country side to the cities and left their houses behind :o)

Þú hefur ekki fengið þér smá lúr!!! Er þetta tekið í "kastalahúsinu"?

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Takk Ingibjörg. Jú, þetta er "Kastalinn" við Arngerðareyri og mig langaði eiginlega ekkert til að leggja mig þarna. Hefði frekar farið á skauta ef það hefði staðið til boða :o)

Angela says:
It looks similar to the basement of my house. I always feel horror when I think that people (incl. children) were reluctant to live in such place during the 2. WW.

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you Angela. It is hard for us here in Iceland to imagine the horror of war. Thankfully we have no army and don't go to war but I can imagine it was horrible during the WW 2...

Is it water or ice on the floor?

This is ice on the floor. I guess it snowed inside, then melted and froze, there is no running water there :o)
