Living in a birch forest

I had to share this Saturday morning with you :)

I live in a birch forest in Borgarfjörður, West Iceland. The picture shows the view from my windows. The time is 8 am and Snipe is flying back and forth, there is no wind and the mountain is mirroring in the lake Skorradalsvatn.  Am I living in Paradise or what?

Working  this Pentecostal weekend in Snorrastofa, we are open all days from 10 to 18 hours :)
