Reykjavik Street Art City

As August rapidly comes to a close, I don’t want to leave the challenge without a mention, or in this case a small gallery of images, of the street art I’ve been lucky enough to appreciate in Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland. In fact, the city, like the country, has become my favourite place to visit. In fact, if I could live anywhere but Tokyo or Toronto for a year… but that’s a subject for another time. My wife and I first visited Iceland drawn to the pale Arctic beauty, convulsed by volcanoes and glacial waterfalls into a living, ever-changing landscape of rock, ice, and haunted emptiness. We found what we came for in spades, as they say. But again, that is another story… What we didn’t expect to find, but shouldn’t have been surprised to discover, is that Reykjavik, birthplace to the singer Bjork and the band Sigur Ros, is that the country’s tiny capital blooms with life and colour against the hard grey Arctic Ocean, glaciers, and mountains. <a href="https://medium.com/globetrotters/reykjavik-street-art-city-b8e0b8ffd9">Website</a>
