Photo story: my wooden house by the sea :)

My wooden house by the sea is situated just in the very heart of Reykjavik, down town, just 5 minutes walk from Harpa. I live at the attic and from my window can see the green leaves of the trees and shimmering blue water of the ocean, the Faxaflói Bay, in the left angle of the window pane. And we are all from the left wing of course ;)

It's harmonious and artistic atmosphere inside, and outside we have a yard/garden with a high grass and some yellow spring flowers and beautiful old trees. Indeed, very green.



Our house is placed in the middle of the hill, the sea is glittering down the slope and some Reykjavik 'sky scrapers' occupy some part of the landscape.



It's such a quite and peaceful place! Although 5 minutes walk up the hill there is intense night life going on. Laugevegur street with many colourful bars, shops and cosy coffee houses. But my neighbourhood is so quite, no party people shouting during the night.

 


My friends that already had visited me felt that is like cottage house somewhere in the mountains, like a wooden shelter for mountaineers. And I completely agree with it! :))  

Here is an excellent song illustrating how I feel: Björk: It's oh so quiet.. shh :))
