Painted wooden house at Akureyri in the north of Iceland from Professor Peter Davidson's recent voyage to the Lands of Fire and Ice!
One in a street of elegant houses in nineteenth century style above the port and the old Danish trading station.
The Akureyri fjord is sheltered despite its high latitude and very successful attempts at re-forestation have been made on its slopes where there's a botanic garden with ingenious shelter planting.
