Stykkishólmur church at dawn. The church overlooks Breiðafjörður and can be seen from afar. It was designed by architect Jón Haraldsson and consecrated in 1990.

Súgandisey is a small basaltic island sheltering Styykishólmur harbour. Situated on the island's highest point, the lighthouse from 1948 is only 3,5m high but that suffices to assist navigation through the many islands of Breiðafjörður and into Stykkishólmur harbour which is the ferry port for the Westfjords. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuchtturm_S%C3%BAgandisey

The current "Baldur" was bult in 1969 and originally sailed under Norwegian flag as Lofoten ferry "Vagan".

Aprroaching Brjánslækur under a threatening cloud. The stormy weather with winds blowing to the south was rather untypical for the season.

Approaching Brjánslækur and Vestfirðir on ferry Baldur from Stykkisholmur. This was the calm part of the passage, in the open fjord the waves came over the bridge forcing everybody inside.
