Hólar community

I'm We went to Hólar today. It is one of the most important places in Iceland historically. In its thousand years of existence it used to be one of the two main learning centres in Iceland, an important religious place - a witness of Icelandic conversion to Christianity and a seat of a bishop. Nowadays there is a small but compact community, a school of agriculture preparing for sheep and horse breeding, fish growing and there is also a college. Seeing just a couple of building it sounds incredible it can be such a centre.

Just moss, lichen, and tiny plants ... And wild orchids
