What a Place For a Picnic

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) is a historic site and national park in Iceland, east of Reykjavík.
It's known for the Alþing (Althing), the site of Iceland's parliament from the 10th to 18th centuries.
On the site are the Þingvellir Church and the ruins of old stone shelters.
The park sits in a rift valley caused by the separation of 2 tectonic plates, with rocky cliffs and fissures like the huge Almannagjá fault.
A peaceful place to walk around and take in the beauty of our world.

What a place indeed! But it might not be so peaceful if those plates get on the move.

It was a gorgeous place indeed. I love this shot of it, though I never saw this aspect of it. We were on a tour though, so we did not get to see as many areas of the park as you did. ~BV~
