Red, orange and green

Even the farming equipment in Iceland was colourful! At this farm they made Hákarl - a speciality made from rotting shark meat, the stench was unimaginable! I politely declined to try it.

Hallgrímskirkja

Hallgrímskirkja

A view of the wonderful organ in the Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland. I was lucky enought to hear this instrument being played - even my goose pimples had goose pimples... The organ was made by the German organbuilder Johannes Klais of Bonn. It has mechanical action, four manuals, 102 ranks, 72 stops and 5275 pipes. It is 15 metres tall and weighs 25 tons.

This pretty young Korean lady was practicing for a concert on the magnificent organ in the Hallgrímskirkja, in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was a remarkable experience to hear this wonderful instrument being put through its paces. The organ was made by the German organbuilder Johannes Klais of Bonn. It has mechanical action, four manuals, 102 ranks, 72 stops and 5275 pipes. It is 15 metres tall and weighs 25 tons. Sadly the church is currently undergoing major restoration, and the great tower is covered in scaffolding and netting.
