It is indeed "away from the city noise." The only city within a drivable distance of it is Akureyri, sometimes called "the capital of the north."
I do believe it was in this valley where I photographed and abandoned sod-roofed farmhouse back in 1974 and encountered a herd of the wild Icelandic horses.
Of all the folks who post Iceland photos here on LuLa, Rajan always manages to capture best the feelings I remember from that trip almost forty years ago.
