Each time I look at them I&#8217;m reminded of the snowy New Year I spent in Reykjavik a few years back. Nowhere else has ever come close to the jaw-dropping, fingertip-freezing scenes I saw there. Even ordinary streets and shops looked like something out of a Bruegel painting. Although the sun barely rose above the horizon the light and colours were stunning. I took hundreds of photographs, even though it meant I had to keep taking my gloves off, just because I wanted to capture every last icicle and snow-covered rooftop. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:verdana;\">I&#8217;m enjoying looking back at those photographs so much I&#8217;ve put some of them together in my first ever Flickr slideshow. Unfortunately, WordPress and Flickr don&#8217;t seem to like\u00a0each other and so rather than a smooth link I&#8217;ve embedded a link to Flickr in the picture below. Clicking on the picture should take you to the album. If anyone knows a better way of doing this, your advice will be gratefully received! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wintery Reykjavik\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/131876509@N08\/albums\/72157662630529685\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/710\/23874541705_e456d0cb61_z.jpg?resize=640%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wintery Reykjavik\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As there seems to be no chance of a white Christmas this year, I&#8217;m reminiscing about whiter times in Reykjavik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[233],"tags":[406,490,499,517,543,576],"class_list":["post-2249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel","tag-iceland","tag-photography","tag-reykjavik","tag-snow","tag-travel-2","tag-winter"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
