A winter moon floats over the southern part of Tjörnin
in Reykjavík, the ducks resting peacefully.

The capital of Iceland draws its name from
the steam from the hot springs there, which the
settlers mistook for smoke, not having seen
steam in nature before.
This view is to the north with Mt. Esja
in the background.
