Graffiti in Reykjavik II

The editor of Icelandic Times / Land & Saga, Einar Thorsteinn Thorsteinsson, asked me if
I had been to the underpass at Miklubraut / Longuhlid. My answer was no… so of course
I went to take a look. Afterwards I also visited the house and lot at Grettigata 87, near
Hlemm in downtown Reykjavik.
There, the outer walls of a car repair shop that burned down in 2016 still stand — now
well adorned with graffiti that is rather striking and beautiful.
Here is a photo series from these two locations, and the art found there.
