It is certainly a good exercise and great fun. Take a point-and-shoot camera for a day off, and shoot on impulse, without thinking, without careful composition... just the feeling. No concerns whether the subject is worth the shot or not.

And the fun with this particular Canon Ixus (or PowerShot) is Selective color. Oh, I LIKE IT !!!!

The valley of Elliði River is one of the most popular recreation areas in the capital, offering Reykjavík citizens a variety of opportunities for outdoor activitiy. There are paths for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as information about the valley's geology and vegetation.

The valley's geology is unique due to its complexity. There are remarkable sediments of fossilized shells and plants that grew here a few hundred thousand years ago.

Dolerite rocks, lava from recorded historical time and sea rock can be found in Elliði River Valley. The river has often been called the 'pearl' of Reykjavik, for it being rather unique to find a salmon river running through a nation's capital.

And if it were not enough, one can also find several interesting photo spots along the valley.

Do you know the story?

The husband arrives from inspecting the progress on the construction site of their new home. And he tells his wife, with a very English accent (I just picture it that way)

-"Honey..."

-"Yes" - sweet wife voice.

-"Do you remember... how you used to say you loved those little nice houses that looked just life elf houses...?

And you just don't want to know the rest of the story :)

But really, I can't image why fish-eye lenses are popular with Real Estate.

This needle indicates the cardinal points as well as the names of some locations and mountains in the vicinity of Reykjavik, along with their height and distance from this site.

Even the name of its designer was carved into this practical work of art: Jakob Hálfdánarson.

This shot is taken from The Pearl.
