I decided to ease into my hiking in Iceland adventure by doing a Workaway for the first month. I'm staying in a beautiful town called Akranes with a lovely Icelandic family. I'm working part time in exchange for accommodation and food, and I'm able to test my camping/hiking equipment on my days off. So far only my jacket and sleeping pad are a big failure 😁
The Hubba Hubba tent and phantom sleeping bag have held up in below freezing conditions, so that's a relief 😅
Here are some photos from my first week in Iceland.

New @Vivaldi for your computer!

This time a lot of focus is on the design. At the same time we make it easier for you to see how flexible Vivaldi can be with layouts.

Let me know what you think! Still the only browser with a Mastodon Instance and a built in Mastodon (Vivaldi Social) panel!

Vivaldi 8.0: our biggest design overhaul, ever

More than thirteen years in, and I am still as excited about building this browser as I was on day one. Maybe more. That excitement comes from a genuine belief…

Golden Crown

15:30 late afternoon, mid-November in eastern Iceland, and the sun is setting in the south-west.

Looking north across Berufjörður, the mountains behind us are casting shadows onto the peaks on the opposite side of the fjord. Gradually they have crept up the faces of the mountains, and I have watched, spellbound.

A bizarre mountain named Stöng has a strange spiked pinnacle. For a perfect moment, only the very tip of it is sunset-lit.

So proud of my country, #Ireland for standing up and taking the decision along with #Spain, #Slovenia, #Iceland, and The #Netherlands to #boycotteurovision.

It was a small gesture on the scale of things but maybe it inspires others to take action and I sincerely hope that the people of #Palestine are the real winners.

Birds On An Iceberg

Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon on a misty August morning. A layer of vapour is sitting on the water's surface.

The stillness is only broken by the occasional call of a seabird. All is quiet, the fog suppressing any sound.

Then the spell is broken by a harbour seal breaking the surface, always searching for the next meal.

The southern part of Vatnajökull National Park (Vatnajökulsþjóðgarður) in Iceland.
