ICELAND - Harbour Reykjavik - Docks Impression
The so-called Old Harbour of Reykjavik is the first lasting harbour of the town. It was constructed between 1913 and 1917 on the cove Reykjavik, after which the farm of the first settler and later the town were named.
The Danish monopoly trading was moved from the spit of land called Orfirisey in 1780 to Reykjavik. During the 19th century the merchants constructed their own short and small piers as extensions from the warehouses into the cove. The municipal authorities did not participate until after 1850, when harbour pilots were engaged to ensure the safety of the seafaring people. A signal mark was built by the Akurey-reef in 1856 and the first tariff of the harbour was issued. A Danish engineer was hired to evaluate the harbour conditions and make suggestions for the harbour construction. The budget of the town was too low to accommodate the expenses of the project at the time and only minor improvements were carried out. After 1860 the municipality contracted the common use of the piers built and owned by the merchants and paid lease. In 1884 the municipality constructed the so-called Stone Pier.

Small Icelandic town seizes tourist influx
(16 Sep 2018) LEADIN:
Imagine waking up to find hundreds of tourists taking photographs of your home village and you in your underpants.
Well that's what's been happening in a small harbour town in northwest Iceland, where the rise in visiting cruise ships is being seen as both a blessing and a curse.
STORYLINE:
Gudmundur Kristjansson is preparing his tugboat to escort a cruise ship the last mile to Isafjordur (pron. ees-ah-fyörth-ür), a remote North Atlantic outpost in northwest Iceland.
It's become a morning routine for the harbour master.
Ten years ago, the town of Isafjordur saw no more than about 12 cruise ships annually.
This year, arrivals are close to one hundred, reservations for next year already indicate further growth.
This means a lot for the town, says Kristjansson, onboard his tugboat.
Today, we are double the size of the population of the small village of Isafjordur.
It's the third ship this morning, a fourth was scheduled, but bad weather altered its plans.
Waves splash on the tugboat's bow, outside temperatures doesn't reflect most people's idea of summer.
But this is nothing compared to winter, when rough weather and choppy seas prevent cruises from operating.
That means small towns and villages near the Arctic Circle are overwhelmed with ships during the four-month sailing season.
In addition to Iceland, international cruise liners often travel to neighbouring Greenland, Svalbard and northern Norway.
Most of the cruise vessels come in early morning, says Kristjansson.
So, from 5.30, 6 o'clock in the morning, until 7 o'clock they've already been docked in the harbour.
And, every day, the people of Isafjordur, when they woke up - wake up - and go to work, they will see a new ship at the harbour.
One resident says the cruise ships have turned his quiet hometown into Manhattan island.
A recent survey showed the town's population of about 2,600 wanted to prevent visitors from wandering too freely into home gardens and private properties.
When I was living in my old house, here in the town, it would happen that I would wake up in the morning, and stand in my living room in my underpants, and there would be tourists outside of the house taking pictures, says anthropologist and local entrepreneur Haukur Sigurdsson.
It doesn't bother me very much, but it's a strange thing for the people, I guess.
Sigurdsson has developed a mobile app that will give visitors a glimpse of local life, without literally peeking into people's window.
The app will explore the development of the northwestern trading post and seek to answer commonly-asked questions such as what it's like living there in winter.
I'm hoping that they somehow get a feeling of that there is an actual community that lives here and it's an actual town with people, says Sigurdsson.
Iceland is now seven years into a tourism boom with about 20 percent annual visitor growth.
Last year, 2.6 million tourists visited the Nordic island nation. Before 2011, that number hovered around 600,000.
Isafjordur is far off the beaten track, few overland tourists travel the winding route to the old harbour town.
At a time of dwindling fishing exports, the influx of cruise ship tourists is creating new opportunities for the town's residents.
Their fishing industry has declined a little bit we've been told, says Canadian cruise ship passenger Gail Scott, who's spending the day in the town while on an organised day tour to nearby sights.
So, tourists are filling the gap.

Iceland : City Keflavik – Reykjanesbaer drone fly over the city aerial video
Keflavik is a very important center of fishing, industrial and service. It is inhabited by about 10,000 people. In 1996 the city was connected with the towns Njarðvík and hafnir and former US base Asbru in agglomerations Reykjanesbaer (over 14 thousand people).
In the past, Keflavik served as commercial. Even in the sixteenth century, there was no shortage here of the English and German merchants, but after the introduction of the Danish monopoly in the seventeenth century, the city began to decline. After World War II the US military stationed here in the framework of NATO. After years of protests by the local population, the base was finally abolished September 30, 2006. On this day there was a solemn ceremony of exchange of flags on the mast of the US to Icelandic. The buildings of the former base was converted into flats, designed mainly for students.
Take a walk path along the cliffs at the harbor. In nice weather you can see from here Reykjavik, and even the Snaefellsnes peninsula. At the cliffs of the cave is located (Skessugellir) in which it can meet a huge figure of a troll Skessa. More in the gallery below the article. Troll snores, belches but also wins the very famous song.
In the surroundings you can watch the unusual sculpture Asmundur Sveinsson (fishermen sculpture)
Equally interesting place is a museum of the Viking world where you can see a reconstruction of a Viking boat.
In the city center there is a museum Dushus currently is several museums in neighboring buildings. The entire island is famous for the local exhibition of models of almost 100 ships, constructed by the skipper Glimura Karlsson.
The building held chamber concerts, you can also admire the works of the painter jóhannes sveinsson kjarval.
The great attraction of the city is taking place in September Night Lights (Ljosa-nott), ending with a great fireworks display.
In most European countries, the international airport is located in the state capital. Iceland in this category is one of the exceptions, the main and also the largest airport for international flights that arrive is located about 4 kilometers west of the town of Keflavik. It is called the International Airport of Reykjavik. With the exception of flights to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the airport in Keflavik supports all other international calls. The airport is also designated as a reserve airport for the landing of NASA space shuttles in case of problems with the landing in the United States or failure aboard the spacecraft primarily because of the history of its construction (built by the US Army during World War II)
The airport has a restrictive approach to spend the night in anticipation of the cruise, but air come in the middle of the night saw several people sleeping in the corners airport.
After leaving the terminal attracts attention sculpture of a plane wykluwający of eggs, the author of that unusual construction Magnus Tomasson.

Ibiza Walk 2004
Ibiza Walk 2004
This Was the First of what will eventually be 4 songs about Ibiza, that I wrote. It's based on a Blues Riff that I had at the time (1999/2000) & I was taking some time to come up with a Blues Tune. I did Find that Blues Tune on the heels of using the Riff first here in Ibiza Walk. It was like I had to write this song first in order to write the next one called Throwing My Money Away (Delta Blues).
Ibiza walk is imagination for me, a fantasy of one day walking along a beach in that Fun Exotic Crazy Place Ibiza Spain, which has been a preoccupation of mine ever since hearing about it from a cast member of Hair back in the 90's. I've never been & probably won't ever get a chance to go, but it has yielded two songs so far Ibiza Walk and Ibiza Beats In My Ears ( Videos)
&
I think both appeal more to the Old Hippy Feel of the Place more so than what the Island is known for - which I only later found out about after falling in Love with the Idea of the Place. My next two songs (Still Working) will be more in order with the Dance thing that takes place there...really one Lyric sheet that has become 3 tunes with Vocals...and of course There's my Instrumental Ibiza Walk right here & Now For you.
The Track did appear on my 2004 CD Music For Another Day when the CD was a Double CD, but it was soon cut when I had to trim the CD down to a Single CD for Manufacturing Cost $$$ Reasons. So few have heard the song, but it is a Favorite of one of my friends, the only song of mine that he mentions constantly over & over again.

#8 - City of Ribe | Driving in Denmark (and walking)
We drive around in the old parts of Ribe. Then we take a walk on the Main Street, around the outside of the cathedral, along the harbor and through the city park.
Ribe is the oldest city in Denmark and the entire Scandinavia, established in the early eighth century sometime between the years 704 and 710.
The first Church in Ribe dates back to 860. The current Ribe Cathedral began construction in 1150.

Visiting Iceland in July 1980 my first stop was Reykjavik. Here I have photos of the downtown core on Austurstraeti, the harbour, a swimming pool, a church and views from Hallsgrimkirkja bell tower giving a good view of Reykjavik, an outdoor heritage museum known as Arbaer, and a sculpture garden and studio of sculptor Asmundur Sveinsson. At Reykjavik Airport I continued my tour of Iceland...
Looks like a Rescue mission
I was lucky to witness some of the skills of the Seamen on the Seamens day in Akranesi.
