'Sun Voyager' in Reykjavik

Tim is in Iceland this week, where it’s still snowing, and at my request took this picture of a sculpture we had missed when we were there a few years ago.

“Sun Voyager [Sólfar] is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. … [It was the winner of a funded] competition for a new outdoor sculpture to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavik.” (from Wikipedia)
