#horses #Iceland #they orient facing away from the wind

I am also tragically enamored of the little jelly bean shaped cars that Iceland is awash with. Why can’t I get a hybrid Yaris in the states? Whatever the Toyota Aygo is? A Hyundai i10

Coming out of this vacation tragically enamored with this style of riding pant which seems to only available in mainland Europe and potentially Iceland

They have fabric straps that can go under your boots so they don’t ride up

#I did find them actually #somewhere that ships in the US that is #but they were sold out of my size #not these exact ones #these are hideously expensive #more reasonable ones

Spent two days in a freezing downpour to be rewarded with what our guide said was the clearest day she’d seen in a decade of guiding

#horses #iceland

#this was once a seat of government!#also where two plates are separating

I had a two hour layover and then they moved the first flight from 12 to 8am and it turned into a 6 hour layover 🫠 someday I will be free of this terminal

#should actually start boarding soon #always darkest before dawn etc.#and then: iceland!

“The Icelandic horse was a work horse and the nation’s only transportation. Everything that needed moving was packed on a horse and transported over rough terrain and unbridged rivers. Not everyone could afford to own a horse, but for those who did it was a priceless possession for work and travel. It is understandable why the horse was called “the most needed servant”.” (x)

Did so so good on anthropeum today and am so so pleased with myself

I play this game entirely on vibes and pattern recognition this is not repeatable whatsoever but nevertheless

The bottom one is a carriage harness on display at the Galerie des Carrosses in Versailles. There it's shown alongside one if the coronation coaches, which I would describe as an elaborately decorated chunk of gold drawn by six horses. I love the detail on the leatherwork and would love to see these harnesses in person one day. They're beautiful, in the "hang on is that what we're spending our countrys budget on?" sort of way.
