Lupins are widespread in Iceland. The long drive from Keflavík to the city of Reykjavík takes one past miles of verges and fields which brighten even a cloudy day. The type is the Nootka lupin (also lupine) [Lupinus nootkatensis]. This pleasing shot was taken in suburban Reykjavík in the evening.

Landsbankinn is an Icelandic bank headquartered in Reykjavík. It was established in 2008 by the Icelandic government out of the domestic operations of its predecessor Landsbanki which failed during the 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis. It is one of the largest banks in Iceland and the history of its predecessor goes back to 1885.

This branch is at Hagatorg (Brynjólfsgata). Hraðbanki is Icelandic for ATM.

Visible from almost anywhere in Reykjavík, Hallgrímskirkja
is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson. The architect, Guðjón Samúelsson, designed the church to resemble the basalt columns of Iceland's landscape.
