A Good Day

Vatnsmýri and the nearby Reykjavík Pond were showing off their finest beauty today. People and birds alike took advantage of the fine weather to lift their spirits in the crisp, frosty calm. The pond was bustling with life, as well as Vatnsmýri, which was shrouded in a dreamy, misty veil. For a moment it felt like stepping into the middle of a Hitchcock film.
Icelandic Times was of course on the road to capture the atmosphere, on this fine day.
