Last night around midnight I noticed that there was a beautiful Halo around the moon.
I grabbed a few photos and some meteors may be seen too.
Note: I was mistaken thinking the green smudge was a meteor trail. I have been advised that this is simply a case of lens-flare. Oh well…

My Fermec 965 Backhoe Loader is showing wear in the backhoe bearings causing control to be sloppy and inconsistent. Original bearings cost over one thousand Euros – and with the poor exchange rates it was not an option.
I located an identical machine – a Case 595 Super LE which had been destroyed in a fire and purchased the entire assembly from the owner.
This machine had much less use than mine and I will simply swap the entire assembly over. The spare parts weigh 280kg.
After seeing how much ‘Skuggi’ my Labrador enjoyed himself in the sea, I could not resist joining him.
Today was overcast and warm, temperatures reached a whopping 15° C and the sea was quite warm, I believe the water temperature may have reached 6° to 8° – quite comfortable once I was in the water.
Must do this more often, afterwards I felt almost alive…8-)
If you visit my station, don´t forget your swimsuit.
I took my Labrador – ‘Skuggi’ to the beach. His name means ‘Shadow’. He enjoys swimming very much and he is without any doubt the strongest dog in the whole of Iceland and possibly the world.
The view from the shack never ceases to amaze me. This is the most beautiful place on this planet.
