Þingvellir ("parliament plains) is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because one of the oldest parliamentary institutions of the world (Alþingi ) was established here in 930. We thought it was a beautiful place to walk and take pictures.
Observations from Kew Gardens (UK) and now Houston (US).
