Thingvellir…..
Brooding skies over Iceland’s most famous national park. We’ve visited twice, and both times the beauty and wonders that we saw were just incredible! “Þingvellir is now a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km (25 miles) northeast of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.”
The white buildings are the old Parliament buildings, and you can also see a Lutheran church nearby.
