Thingvellir, Iceland June 2013

 Thingvellir is the site of the oldest parliament in the world in Iceland, the Althingi, founded in 930 AD. The site was a meeting place where camps were set up rather than permanent buildings. I found it surprising how many could fit in to what looks like a small space. The views here were spectacular.
