My friend Maria and I visited Reykjavik, Iceland on our way from the UK to the US (a permanent move for me, a holiday for her). We had no idea what to expect.
Very cool! I feel like street art says a lot about a city. A city with street art is a creative environment. A city without street art is…well, where I currently live 😛
Yeah, I think you’re right. And the kind of street art the city has also makes a statement. In Reykjavik, there was very little street art of the graffiti variety and many more murals and commissioned works!

So much about what I’ve read about Iceland focuses on its natural beauty. It’s nice to find out that it has an interesting urban area, too. That mosaic is so beautiful, and that one of the fish rising up towards the long hair (or was it flying squid tentacles) is wonderful, too.

Would love to visit Reykjavik.
