Ice cream with Vivien for brunch then jigsaw. Feel I should be doing something but can't be bothered.

Reykjavik is a city of statues and wall art. Here are a few of my favourites.
There was a QR code on this bench so you could listen to poetry by Tomas Godmundsson.You can't see this one very well but it's a stone from Hiroshima commemorating the victims of the 1945 bombing. Every year on August 6th a candle lighting ceremony of remembrance takes place with the candles being released onto the lake.
I don't know what this man did to upset the sculptor to make stop halfway! Apparently the statue is most often called The Unknown Bureaucrat.

That's some wonderful art there. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Interesting sculptures and murals! That looks like Kwan Yin the female Buddha carved into the Hiroshima commemorative rock.
Looks like a wonderful city.
