The magic of Iceland

'Tis still the season... 

We had a bit of a do at work today... and there were some fireworks involved :o)

I didn't have my tripod but rushed up to the top floor with my camera and managed to get some photos.

And then of course, there will be a much bigger show tomorrow night when all Icelanders participate in the largest (and the most chaotic) fireworks show of the year :o)

Brigitte ☆, Team ipernity, Berny, Varin and 3 other people have particularly liked this photo

LOL, yes we do everything we can to brighten up those dark winter days ;o) We only have about 2 hours of muted daylight now, so every little thing helps :D

Here in Iceland, every family (and basically everyone) buys fireworks for New Years Eve. Around midnight everyone goes outside and shoots from their own backyard or gather in the streets and shoot together. The fireworks display is both awesome and chaotic.

The downside of this is that there are always some accidents since many people are not careful enough...

:DDD i can hear you, same here. evertime i am scared to leave the house around these days, not because of the noise, no. i'm just very thankful about my healthy body and i don't trust strangers to take care about me :)

this year i've been the first time for myself as i ever was dreaming of and it was soooo beautiful. i've chosen the best place for myself, by living here, cause in front of my window is a wonderful free area and i could just watch from a safe place, all those lovely people having fun and celebrate with their firworks, seemed like to be a firework, only made for me :) sigh ...

l o v e l y !

wishing you a wonderful new year, dear begga.

Jæja - þú ert þó allavega með myndavélina með þér :o) Þarf samt að fara að sjá myndir frá þér sem eru ekki teknar úti á bílaplani eða úti í garði hjá þér hihihi..!
