Retirement

Time to look at old photographs and try to make them better.

This one is sunset in Iceland.

Sunday Evening

No lessons to write.  No papers to grade.  No worrying about who will walk into my classroom tomorrow. 

Just sitting here at the computer, playing Words With Friends and editing some more Iceland pictures (some of which I put here on Facebook.)

I should send a thank you note to the person who helped me make the decision to leave.  Retirement is good.

Reykjavic



I love looking at my pictures but don't want to bother anyone else with them, unless of course you are interested  Reykjavic photos on Facebook.

Roads Of Iceland



No traffic.  It is weird being able to stop your car in the middle of a major highway and snap a picture.  It is also strange being on gravel roads, especially when the unpaved road is a segment of a major highway.  The only difficult part is watching for the sheep that seem to cross at will with no regard for upcoming cars.  Still, it beats the traffic I was stuck in crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge into the Bronx this afternoon.

More road pictures here, on facebook.

Glacial Lagoon



Just posted some iceberg pictures taken at Jokulsarion, a glacial lagoon.  All I can say is wow!!!

Blue Lagoon pictures posted on Facebook too.

Mosquito Heaven

I understand the lack of air conditioners in Iveland as the country rarely gets above 70 degrees.  But, I don't understand why there are no screens in the windows.   The mosquito population is feasting on human flesh.
