I knew that the protective walls they built around Grindavík to protect the village from the lava were big, but I didn't realise just how huge they are. Here seen with trucks and machinery for scale. Photo by Ragnar Visage for RÚV.

what in the blazes

Starts with a ChiffChaff 🙂

The love and care becomes obvious with these reconstructions. It is hard to imagine in the remains hundreds of years afterwards.

So why don’t Europeans buy oversized American cars that get wider and wider by the year? Gee, I wonder why? It’s a real conundrum… #tariffs

Oh Wow! As far as the eye can see there are flowers
