Anyone who has ever seen the ocean at its mightiest will know that fishing is no occupation for the fainthearted. These pictures show an old style "verðbúð" a place where fishermen would spend their fishing season, fishing, eating, sleeping and preparing for fishing again. The boats would have been wooden and without any motorized help.

Here is some more from Hrafnseyri. It may be a nice balance to the news coming out of the country about the government collapsing. When all is said and done the most important thing for Iceland is to help recreate a viable environment for people rather then to feed the anger.

May the spirit of Jon Sigurdsson be with us in these trying times.


These are taken within the church in Hrafnseyri.
