School-Cairn-Path
That would be the name of Skóla-vörðu-stígur in English, that is the street up to the church Hallgrímskirkja.
To the right is the small red house where they tried to brake in to the Jewel shop by taping a small bomb to the glass. Only the glass broke; a film on the inside of it held.
The people in this picture are all tourists, there is no one up so early. Although there is a no entry sign, one is allowed to cycle against the traffic, even on the pavements - taken care not to cycle anyone down.
This is a three street crossing: I am standing in Bankastræti and Laugavegur (The way to the hot springs where women took their washing in the old days) is the continuation of it or vise verse and the third street is Skólavörðusígur.
My aunt (my mother older sister) lived for a while on the top floor in the brown house and a very narrow stair led up to her apartment. She never married and had no children, but sometimes she "loand" me and took me places - sometimes with a male friend.
Later in life I had the opportunity to tape a long interview with her, which could become a book someday. She was borne in 1906 and was 96 years old when she died and had lived the longest of her siblings. She is second from the left in the back row on this picture and my mother first from the right.
