Going into the mountains

We are going back home to day because tomorrow there will be heavy traffic on the roads when everybody is going home after this first "travelling weekend" in Iceland and that is why we vent North on Thursday instead on Friday.

We stopped here before going into the mountains. The weather was excellent and I had to take a picture here for this is the scene of action in the love/ghost story I made an animated film about The Deacon of Dark River.
Dark River (Myrká) is in the valley between the two dark mountains on the right and the Deacon had to travel on horseback in winter into the valley on the left side of the picture to visit Gudrun, the girl he loved, at Bægisá farm and invite her to a Christmas "party" at Myrká, but on the way back fate dealt him an unexpected blow. Yet, so great was his love for Gudrun that nothing could stop him for keeping his promise.
