Seltjarnarnes

29.2.2016 We have visited west of the Reykjavik the tip of the peninsula Seltjarnarnes two times now. First time was sudden decision after work. Tenth of February the sun was slowly setting down but there was still enough light and we were feeling weary and wanted to do something different for a change. I knew there was few geocaches there but this time going was a good idea from Sirja.


The beach was amazing! Like a small jewel just outside Reykjavik city. Long curvy black beach in the sunset. The sound of the waves and birds. Not too many tourists this time. We took pictures and videos.


Black sand!




We would have liked to stay for longer but the sun was almost gone and we were hungry so we headed home.


It is amazing to think that some people are living so close to such beautiful beach. How I envy them.








Tytti had not been with us and we were eager to go again, all together this time. So in valentines day we went to the beach again. And this time we timed our walk to low tide so we could visit the lighthouse too. You can not go there by high tide, the path is under water by then. I tried to solve the mystery cache but no luck for me that time, so we really have to visit a third time. Not that anyone would be opposed to that. 





One of the most surprising thing we found were these tiny little yellow, black, green and read seashells. It turns out they are the most common of sea snails in europe, flat periwinkles. Still very beautiful though.

So in the hope of good weather to return to Seltjarnarnes I left my footsteps for the next tide to wipe away.




 Beach seems to go and on.









 A very lighthearted greetings from Iceland.
