Reykjavik New Year’s part 2, the thrilling uhh middle section really– we went out into the eerie briefly-silent streets and at 11:30 sharp were joined by teeming hordes of Icelanders fresh from their TV show, and the fireworks started up again, as intense, non-stop, and diffuse as before– coming from all over, simultaneous and uncoordinated and huge– and we went with the press of humanity toward the courtyard in front of the Hallgrimskirkje, with the statue of Liefur Eiriksson towering over us all, and there they shot huge fireworks nonstop directly over our heads with finale-like intensity for half an hour. A tourist beside me did a loud countdown about thirty seconds early, in English, and the crowd went wild– that’s my first video– and then when it was really midnight someone started ringing the bell in the church only it was barely audible over the din. It rang for a solid seven or eight minutes, and took another five minutes to stop swinging, and meanwhile the fireworks showered us with ashes and cinders and everyone kept singing and cheering and the fireworks only stopped around 4am and then have been going fitfully ever since.
Happy New Year, ongoingly. (at Iceland Reykjavik)
