imagens do Mundo

hoje lembrei-me do silêncio, da imensidão, do tempo a passar, da paz interior.. ali, sentado ao lado do farol.

Iceland (by Nasa)

Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Where else can you witness such marvels of Mother Nature as a tremendous icecap and several glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming solfataras, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls, a multitude of birds, cavorting whales just offshore and many other surprises. Summers are surprisingly warm and winters not as cold as you might expect. (in Iceland tourism board)




Umas das coisas que mais me atraiu:

"Today, Iceland is a developed country, the world's fifth and second in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and human development respectively. It is based upon a free market economy where service, finance, fishing and various industries are the main sectors. Tourism is popular, as many people are attracted to Iceland's exotic scenery." (in wikipedia)


País desenvolvido! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. pensava eu que ía para o terceiro mundo!!


deve ter sido por saber que eles têm localidades com grandes parecenças com as nossas. "Kirkjubæjarklaustur" é clara e linguisticamente parecido com Santa Comba Dão (pelo menos no tamanho do nome...).



Uma coisa é certa, não vou conseguir pronunciar correctamente o nome das localidades. o melhor é perguntar.. "hoy there, which way is .. atchim?"

Por isso, se não for antes, voltarei a postar daqui a uma semana.

já sabem, take care!
