Seydisfjordur is a town of 665 people.
It is located deep up a fjord,
flanked by high mountains,
in Eastern Iceland.
It can be reached by Iceland’s famous ring road.
The area is filled with waterfalls,
and is home to Skalane’s Nature Preserve which is a wildlife paradise teeming with artic birds and sealife.
Cheers to you from stunning Iceland~

Fascinating post, Cindy! I wonder, is there a hospital in this community? And if not how do they get medical care?
No hospital that I saw. They would need to go to a more populous Icelandic town. These Icelanders are, and were, just amazing people, in terms of long term survival in an often unforgiving place.
Thank you for this question, you smart person.
I could be wrong though.
A magical looking place 🙂
Iceland is stunning,
You picked a good time of year to visit; time to return home now, you didn’t bring your mittens. Come to think about it, why would anyone have mittens in the comfortable climate in which you reside?
I ski so I have very good mittens, do not like cold fingers or toes. We are home and toasty as it is getting quite nippy in Iceland about now!
Description of the climate of your home provokes me to jealousy, so I recalled as best I can, “Nothing is harder to endure than a succession of fair days.” Goethe. I just wrote myself into sympathy for you in your beautiful surroundings. I feel great!
I love Goethe, and there is truth to what he says. Unremitting sunshine, especially if a person is having a difficult time, can seem almost like a rebuke. I enjoy changes in weather.
All those waterfalls cascading down the mountain was breath-taking! A beautiful place overall – I hope to visit Iceland someday.
Yes. The culture is what surprised me the most. It it so unique and remarkable.
Love it💕💕

We were there in September too. It gets a bit nippy by then, but I know your tour was circle route was amazing.
Yes, very cold, but somehow you seem to forget how cold it is when you are so excited to see all the new landscapes and beautiful scenery. Cheers and happy travels!👍
Very true, and cold climates are a brisk change from Southern California where I live.

Ahhh, thank you & lovely to meet you! I have been reading your blog and empathize entirely with what you are experiencing. I went through some more minor versions of what you are going through earlier in my life and I know how very hard it is. Nice to meet you and thank you for stopping by.
I am hanging in there with this horrible disease. Unfortunately there is no cure and the older I get the worse it is but I push through and appreciate life as much as I can. I enjoyed reading your posts!
You have my sincere respect and empathy.
OMG how beautiful. Brilliantly captured. You must have had a golden time
