The Blue Church in Seyðisfjörður is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Iceland. With its distinct colour and buildingstyle it has become a popular spot for tourists. The church used to stand at Dvergasteinn farm and in 1882 it was moved to Vestdalseyri. At first the church stood on a hill overlooking Vestdalseyri but in 1894 it was blown over and damaged by a huge storm. The church was rebuilt, this time down on the peninsula and stood there until 1920 when the decision was made to move to its present location in the heart of Seyðisfjörður. In 1989 the the Blue Church was damaged by fire when renovation work was being carried out on the building and a pipe organ that was installed in 1987 was ruined by the flames. Today the Blue Church has a pipe organ of the same type as the one that was lost to the fire.
Over half of the world´s population of the Atlantic Puffin breeds in Iceland. Puffins can be seen in their breeding grounds as early as late April all the way to early September. It was very interesting to watch puffins flying into ocean and carrying finishes back to their individual homes. They fly fast and act from other intruders, such as seagulls, quickly. So lucky to see these unique and beautiful birds in person. Indeed, they are a big attraction in Iceland.

This is the lovely little town of Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland. A town where lots of artists live. A charming and friendly place.

Another day, another waterfall. Again, taken last September, on another grey, drizzly day. This rather high waterfall can be found along the ringroad...
