Yesterday I posted a photo from an Icelandic turf church. That photo was taken a few miles down the road from the hotel (Hofsstaðir Guesthouse) we used. Behind the hotel is a beautiful valley and fjord called Skagafjörður. I took this photo the morning we checked out looking over Skagafjörður.
Living Room
While MJ and I were in Iceland, we stayed at this amazing placed called the Hofsstaoir Hotel in the Skagafjorour Bay area. Our room was in the Turf House (see below), which was super cool. We had a little suite within and the picture below shows you our living room.
You can see more information on this location by looking at one of my previous post about this location here: http://brook-ward.com/blog/2013/7/5/iceland-sunset

Skagafjörður Iceland
Skagafjörður is a deep bay in northern
Iceland and is about 24 miles long and 9 miles wide, situated between Tröllaskagi to the east and the Skagi Peninsula to the west. This is one of Iceland's most prosperous agricultural
regions, with widespread dairy and sheep farming in addition to the horse
breeding for which the district is famed.
There are three islands in the bay: Málmey, Drangey and Lundey. The bay is located in a submerged glacial valley,
which is continued southwards by a plain in which lies the delta of the
Héraðsvötn river.
These purple wild flowers must be their national flowers, because we saw these growing everywhere around the country. After taking this photo, MJ and I stayed at a hotel in the valley area just south of here. To see the photo of our hotel and a sunset from this valley/bay, click HERE.
