I went to my swim as usual and I think there are more than 10 people that wihsed me a happy new year and I them.

 

It was nice swimming and in the massage pot I had to talk to many people. There was a young man sitting rather far from me. He kept looking at me and I thought he looks like my son. Is he maybe my cousins son. I know that look. Well I stood up and of course it was my cousins son but not the son of the cousin I thought but the son of his sister.

I don’t see so well form the distance and there was some steam. Well is it you my nephew I said and he said yes it is me. I kissed him and wished him a happy new year and I asked him how he was doing and what. He told me and he was really getting on with his life,. Doing fine things. That made me glad because this young man once had a problem. I had to tell his mother about it and it was a heavy step.

 

His mother is the daughter of my fathers twin brother. At that time my elder son had a big problem too but he is also doing well. Somehow they look alike.

 

After the swim I went for a walk and the pictures are from the walk. It has snowed again and the weather was still and nice. I really enjoyed my walk and I want to share it with you.

You see a stone and I thought it looked like a human being with the snow on it. In one picture if you look well there are men on horseback on the other side of the river. The river here does not lay neither does the see here. You can see there is no ice on it.

 

Then is the raven that let me take a picture. I was astonished because they usually fly away. There was an other on the next roof. I am always taking pictures of ravens. Maybe I will post some later.Then there are the people who just shoot in the air but don't tidy up after them. Well see you later.

    that's really funny that you ran into your other cousin's son! isn't it funny how you sometimes see people you don't expect and it takes some time until you finally understand why you recognize them?

    as ever, i'm impressed by the look of the sky in iceland--there's something about it that's so beautiful. :>

    As always, I love your beautiful photos.  Especially the one of the raven on the roof!  The stone one is interesting.  I first saw the photo, before I read the post, and I was leaning up into the computer to see if that was "your relative' you had mentioned! Ha. (At first glance, I thought it was a person bundled up in strange robes or something).  It is so beautiful there where you live, and your way of life just fascinates me.

    Ed.  The colors were so beautiful today. Many people don't like January but it is my birth month and it has a special light, especially the latter part. Today everything was so blue. This is how they describe Iceland in films. they use blue not yellow filer because here is a lot of blue.

    Yes it was funny how I met my nephew and I always know him of my son.
    Wombie.  Thanks a million. lol I think it was so funny about the stone and you. At least someone else saw it as a human being too.

    It took sometime for me to download the pics, but it's all well worth it. The view is so beautiful! I like the bare branches..

    It's amazing how people get to change their ways.. :D

    The first picture is a stone?  I thought it was a person wearing some sort of cape or maybe a blanket around them.  To me it looks like a picture from a movie.

    It is nice that you saw your nephew and everything is okay now. 

    I was also wondering about the pool where you swim - have you ever posted a picture of that?  I've seen pictures of an outside pool.  Just wondering because of all the snow.
  • skald said on Jan 10, 2008....
    Secret.  Yes the raven is big and very clever.  It is fun watching him and seeing what  he gets up to.  Thanks for your comment.

    Lioness. Good to see you here. Yes the branches are bare now. The nature is asleep. But the day is getting longer every day. I love that. Sorry your computer takes long to load up pictures.

    Queen.  I bet you would like to see what the raven gets up to just like me. Thanks.

    Skald - Its good that your relatives are doing OK. I like the pictures but thought the light was a bit strange, as though it is going to be dark soon. I thought the stone was a fat old lady with long white hair!...isn't that silly! The raven,he is friendly! I was going to ask you what sort of bird it was. I wish I could have one for a pet! Thank you for sharing these things with us.
  • skald said on Jan 10, 2008....
    Rube.  It is funny. It was not getting dark for two hours or more but this is how it comes out. The light is very special here at this time.

    I like that you thought that the stone was a little fat old lady with white hair. I laughed out lout when I heard your this. Not silly at all but nice. Yes the ravens are interesting. The Vikings used them as to find land. I don't know anyone who has them for a pet. That is an interesting thought. Thanks for looking in Rube. I really appreciate it.

    Fearing.  Sorry I missed you. I did not see you. It is the same pool. You are not cold in the warm water. As a matter of fact it is better there than walking outside I think and I really trick the winter.

    Yes the stone looked strange. Did it not. Thanks Fearing.
