Hi I am from a little town in Iceland. 340 people live there, it's a very quiet and relaxed town.
It is a good town with good people and it's very good to raise children there.
I have lived there since I was born. I love this town, you don't even have to use your car because its so small, you just walk wherever you are going. The school there is a very good school with great teachers. At Christmas there's always something to do for the school kids, and its always fun to take part.
Outside of Talknafjörður is a natural hot spring where we go at night and lie ther with cold beers and watch the northern lights. We spend a lot of time there talking and enjoying ourselves. It's about 6 km from town. When we come the city this is the first place we go to relax. 
And here we have a little swimming pool in Reykjafjordur that is built around a cliff. It was built when my grandfather was a kid and it is still the same today. When people are camping this a a very good place to go, it is very beautiful there. 
There is another swimming pool which is in town and it is the biggest in the West Fjords (Vestfjörðum.) Behind it is a four star campsite.
There are two schools and the forest is in the backround. It's not dangerous to play there, so all the kids meet there sometimes and play. The biggest tree is the forest is called the Owl Tree.
I miss this place very much because I am in school in Reykjavik and I am working as a security guard with school as well.
A very good place to be.

It looks absolutely beautiful! Where in Iceland is it?
very nice!
myndin hjá textanum um reykjafjörð er ekki af sundlauginni í reykjafirði...svoldið kjánalegt að setja mynd af rangri sundlaug verð ég að segja!
Beautiful country! These are such lovely photos.
Tourism can be Iceland's route out of the economic mess. Icelanders, set up some websites and put up more pictures like these. People will want to visit your country when they see how magnificent the geography is in Iceland.
You have a paradise there. I wish I was an Icelander. I'm married to one... but as we live here in the states we are lacking. I wish to live in your paradise.
I am really impressed that how beautiful land you live in! Out of millions people in the world, you are so lucky to live in a paradise-like country where is far from conflicts of the world. Try enjoy your life in these beautiful lands although economical problems you had/have these times.
Your town can be called one of the very few "heavens on earth." Just look at how beautiful all the sights are. There's this certain charm that emanates from small towns like this. The swimming pools there are blissful, for sure. Hot springs on a cold day are the best.
