Public art and other weird sights of Reykjavic

[urbpan]

Groups of tourists enjoy "Sólfar" (The Sun Voyager), by Jon Gunnar Arnason



Another view of Sólfar.


Untitled pile of rocks by me. I used rocks that were part of the retaining wall so hopefully there were no Huldufólk in them.


"Móðurást" (Motherhood) by Nína Sæmundsson, the first piece of non-memorial public art in Iceland supposedly.


I don't know what these two sculptures are but they figure in a funny scene in the movie 101 Reykjavik so I had to photograph them.


I take this to be a commentary on the economic situation.


This is in front of the store with the dragon doorway.


This is perhaps the coolest piece of public art I've ever seen. Or maybe it's the coolest fountain I've ever seen.

Thanks for sharing the great pictures. It looks like a great place to visit. I love the first picture..and the 101 Reykjavic one...

The BBC show Top Gear had a race of some kind up there in Iceland and the scenery was fabulous!
