We visited Iceland at the tail end of the midnight sun when the sun would only set between 12am and 3am. We never had enough energy to stay up past midnight, so we never saw the darkness. I woke up bewildered the first morning convinced we had just slept through the whole day. Thankfully, Sasha was there to assure me that I was freaking out for no reason and told me to check the clock…it was hardly past 3am.

The following photo is a view atop the centrally located and towering Hallgrimskirche church. It also shows how Reykjavik remained the entire time during our stay: grey, windy and overcast with chance of rain 100%. The buildings in the city, and from what we saw across most of Iceland, are all similar blocks of durable concrete with some color added.
