Arny was one of my earliest Contacts and has since become a friend. She introduced me to the actual countryside and geology on the ground although I had know it theoretically for a very long time. When I think of the weather and the time of year it is, I often think of Arny up there almost to the North Pole! In the winter very little sun and in the summer cramming everything in like the children's camps, before it starts getting dark and cold again. I love seeing the pictures she puts up of Tinna and Sunni, the two very important cats of her family. Yes, Arny is a very good photographer and I am grateful to be able to enjoy her work.

I adore visiting Arny's photostream because you really get a sense of a life that is shared and a world that is embraced with open arms. Ok, Arny happens to live in one of the most amazing countries in the world, shares her life with beautiful vibrant people and the most gorgeous kitty cats I have ever seen - but only a true artist can communicate these delights in the special way that touches your soul and makes you feel something deep inside. Dear Arny you are a true Flickr treasure and the Icelandic Tourist board should give you an award!

My Dear Arny, I just have to take a few minutes to reflect on you and your great work. I will never forget the minute I met her. She has become a very dear friend to me. She has such a zest for life of family, friends, nature, animals and everything God has placed on this earth for our enjoyment and good. It shows in all her pictures. They just overflow with love for all. Her love for God and all the wonderful work she does with church, schools, radio and anywhere else if she is needed. She is always there. Where her energy comes from is amazing. A blessing from God. I look forward to seeing more of her pictures and marvel in her zest for life. Her energy always overflows to others if they take the time to listen. Thanks for being my friend and sister in Christ. Warm hugs, BlueEyes5 (Shirley)

I have had the honour of meeting Árný three times, and each time is a more wonderful occasion than the last. Occasionally whimsical but usually family oriented, I find peace and solitude in Árný's stream. Something that tells me the world continues to revolve and that everything is in the right place. I think it is a certain love and a salt-of-the-earth that comes through. You can't buy that at the store.

I've never been to Iceland and probably never would. So I'm really thankful to have discovered Arny's stream coz Iceland is not just an amazingly beautiful country, the people are too. Cuddly Tinna and amazing Sunna, her 2 cats, are also a joy to look at. Thank you for sharing your wonderful world with us, Arny!
