On my way through the Icelandic countryside, I stumbled upon this interesting monument to Stephan G. Stephansson. It made for a nice spot to stop and take some photos.
A farm complete with Icelandic horses and a creek.
Beautiful.
Borgarvirki
Borgarvirki is an old fortification in the middle of nowhere. People are not quite sure why this fort was built or who used it, but here it is on a small back road of Iceland.
Going up into the inner sanctum. The fort was built on top of an old volcanic plug.
A memorial to someone.
Evidence of an old building.
Basalt columns from the volcanic plug keeping out the invading hordes of many years ago.
Where a battle once must have taken place.
A defensive wall.
The inside of the volcanic plug.
A panorama from the top of the plug.
Rósa Guömundsöttir Memorial
A small roadside sign memorialized Rósa Guömundsöttir, a prominent midwife in the area a century or three ago.
A small farmhouse and barn out in the middle of nowhere.
