Nothing beats Icelandic architecture.

They call gravity a fell here, or a fall. Often both at the same time.
You can’t escaping falls. The experience of gravity below is an example of what is called a hike. Anything less than this is called a walk. Don’t confuse the two.
Below is a walk. Walks are wet. But gravity is a compensation! It’s good to keep your eye on it. Practice makes perfect.
In Reykjavik, gravity is still at work. I mean, the pot-smoking graffiti artists of Rome and New York and …? … aren’t issued ladders at customs. As a result, they walk from ground level.
Icelandic workers are better equipped to defy gravity.
They’ve been hiking, see. They know about falls. They’re everywhere. You can even fall off a road into the sea here.
Better get in some practice at balance. Off you go!
1100 years of improvisation beats out the competition any time.

Yeah!
No straying outside of the lines here! Out on the farm, though? Well, yee-ha!
Maybe it has something to do with a love of books in the city. Used books.
And their rural versions: sheep folds.

Doubt it? Look again! Doesn’t look like a window anymore, does it:
It looks like Iceland: fields, folds, and books in one.
The ideal woman of Reykjavik, c. 1400…
Mary of the Hallgrímmskirja
Note that she is on life support with an artificial power source.
… and in the modernist period …
Still with a child. The houses in behind look like Nordhausen. Statues like this show up in Germany at nationalist sites, such as the Dornbürger Schlösser north of Jena. There, though, she has no child.
… and today …
Green Party Election Candidate on a Bus Shelter
What a journey! There’s more …
This an unfolding story. The oldest telling of it and the newest are still alive together at the same time. Look …
Adam’s Hotel for Travellers
Right by the Hallgrímmskirja, too.
At first, it looks like a clever pun, in the old Icelandic tradition, but look, right next door, in a passageway, amidst the tagging …
Green’s a great colour, but it’s the details that matter. Look inside that tag …
Adam, we blush. In this context …
See What I Mean about Nordhausen, that DDR ruin?
Maybe not. You had to be there in that DDR mining town abandoned by reunification, I guess.
Still, her beau is here…
Adam? Is that You, Bro?
I wish the lovers well.
