Geological Aesthetic



A geode found on a rock at the beach on the fjord. Sparkly crystals!






 I love this ceramic crucifix, found hanging in the A frame, where we stayed.  The Madonna & Child image is suggested; it's flowing forms seem to be cut from frozen lava.





 In a Reykjavik store front gallery, above, a display of small vases shows rough textured surfaces.



A plate, also in the house, celebrating the 1100 years of the settlement of Iceland.  Norwegian Vikings and Celts from the British Isles settled Iceland in 874.  Read a short history of Iceland and the world's oldest national assembly, online at the Keflavic airport site here: http://b2b.kefairport
