Iceland in Pictures

If you are interested in Reykjavík’s rather odd mayor, Jón Gnarr, check out this post from “Iceland that wants to be your friend”. Check out in particular his rather controversial speech at the Reykjavík Fashion Festival.

Halló.

This is a picture of one of my people, taken by my friends at the Reykjavík Grapevine.

He is called Jón Gnarr.

He used to be a pönk, but now he is the mayor of my Reykjavík. (That is as it should be.)

When some humans who like to wear nice clothes met there a few days ago to look at nice clothes, he told them a story.

My friend Capra, who writes good letters, also sent a letter to him. (She likes to send letters to other humans.) If you are not very busy, you can read it.

Bless bless,
- Iceland

A man wearing an hátíðarbúningur on his wedding day. It’s a modern take on traditional Icelandic costumes, though it’s been noted to have striking resemblance to the Faroese national costume.
