Schweet!. Have you found that the sunsets are extra nice (red) this year? It certainly has been that way over here in Canukistan/Kanada.

It might be interesting to post what time approx the shots were taken. We aren't used to the midnight sun here in the balmy 49th vs your ~65th. I guess in early August sunset is around 10:30PM? I hope my weather chart is calculating properly.

The sunsets are pretty much always beautiful. However tonight it was something else. And the weather has been fantastic this year.

Well you're up late..

Over here the sunsets have been more spectacular than usual. It was during one of those sunsets that my kids and I decided to watch when we noticed what looked like a comet. Nothing in the news at the time but it was comet McNaught. The pic I have of it came from Reykjavík. It was a once in a lifetime event that rivaled any comet I've ever seen and this was by surprise. http://iceland.intracore.com/2007/01/10/halastjarnar-mcnaught-comet-mcnaught/

Enjoy the weather even though it might not be exactly normal. warm and dry isn't what I've heard about Reykjavík.

Thank you, we will enjoy it. Coming up is a large traveling weekend (shopkeepers weekend - funny enough they don't really take it off) so people will be busy driving around our beautiful country, monday is a bank holiday.

ok then, I'm coming over tonight and you're going to show me some wonders of Iceland.

We have a holiday on this Monday too.

Don't I wish... ok soon enough I'm coming there for sure. I think I'll be in a state of zen most of the time I'm there. The beauty touches my soul.

Nice stripes in the pictures. I've seen some really nice sunsets here, I took some pictures of one a month ago, http://djaddasaga.blogspot.com/2007/07/midnight-sunset.html
