This is my first school. I was there just one year and I still remember the songs I learned there.
That is a nice house. I never wondered when I was a child why some houses were nicer than others and I lived in a very small apartment.
Typical buildings in this part.
One this corner was a shop where I used to buy candy for about a cent. Those were the days You can see the Pearl from so many places in Reykjavík. It is in the background but it did not exist when I was a child. The hill was there with hot water tanks however.
We used to pass the old folks home. I think this is the first one in Reykjavík
These gray blocks were the first council houses in Reykjavík built in the 1920's or 30's for working men and this was a great improvement then.
I waited until the light was red and the street was clear. In the old days there was not the constant humming from the traffic.
Spring is already around the corner.
Nice feeling in the air.
Hi there what are you doing? Taking a picture of me.
Typical for this part.
Hidden behind houses. I don't know if you would find this but I knew it was there.
Now I need to go around the corner.
