some thoughts about Iceland...

I have talked a lot of the history, mostly on youtube and veoh.com, but lets talk about Iceland as it is now...

Yes... Iceland is with nature like Norway partly but less trees definitely... but there are trees there, specially in the north and north east, but mostly small trees. Then Iceland has a lot no other country in the north has. Strange surrealistic colors, yellow and violet and blue tones of infinite variety. Hot springs and bubbling clay pots. Glatsiers and vulcan´s and endless varieties of weather. (so bring some warm cloths) We will definitely go bathing in the wilderness when we come to iceland in many places. I don't know anyone who knows more of these old bathing places than me. (if you have any question in particular just make a comment here ... Then I can answer you.... and here is my telephone nr. in case 0046 (0)73 9138535

This trip to Iceland is like a fairy tail 4 me, I do not know where to go really, well most of my visualizations have somehow been culminating around the snow mountain called Snæfell or Snæfellsjökul (u see the connection, to snowwhite and Isis and Izanami the ladies from the ice mountain) so I would not b surprised we would go there, its on the south west side of the island (yea just this word in english is like the word geyser originating up there, the concept island comes from Iceland as well as the concept geyser because in a very early time there was no other island existing in our minds but this one as we where all living there and then we brought the concept to other islands with us and all our way´s of seeing things) But before we come to the west side of Iceland we will pass through other zones pretty attractive especially the scouting group as we will have so long time to explore the varieties of the landscape and the history attached to it. I do not know if we take the south route or the northern route or go over the middle when we drive from Seithisfjörthur on the east side where the ship lands with us from the maine land (from the earth in old terms, as we r then coming to heaven the old name for this ancient place) but this we will decide together. But one little farmhouse we might visit in the north east called Sænautasel on Jökuldalsheithi. Most modest a turf-huts we have now-adays, rebuilt bye a friend of mine now dead and a teacher in house-making Sveinn Einarsson from Hrjót. He was a story teller and true heart a being unforgettable personality. I was lucky to b able to work with him for many years.
