About If you look back on the year in passing, it has been pretty eventful on a national and an international level. Icelanders keep getting richer and have purchased several large banks and shopping chains in Denmark. In Norway, Luxemburg and England we are in the elite business group of business and our currency is one of the strongest in the world, which whas quite apparent when reviewing our expenditures for this christmas.
But tragedy struck in the world nearing the end of the year, as we all know. This sort of thing is hardly a novelty to Icelanders since we live in a country where large earthquakes strike every year, volcanic eruptions have destroyed whole towns, life is threatened by severe weather and avalanches have sweapt away whole houses and towns in the rural areas. Every year, Icelandic nature claims lives. I am not pointing this out to say that the earthquake in the Indian Ocean was trivial. I am just mentioning this for us to reflect on the year and reassess our position and purpose in this life. From this it's quite evident that nature is still the most powerful threat to our life here on earth. Despite the world's most powerful nations use most of their wealth to build huge military forces for their own security, I believe it only leads to false sense of security and ignorance to their neighbours.
Let us join each other to send aid to the victims in the Indian Ocean and try to brigh peace and love to the world. Light a candle at midnight when the new year arrives and let us remember.
Happy new year.

I hope you can see my candle as well as the peace flag that is still hanging outside of our house!
--- A Hopeful Future for 2005! ---
2004 was a year filled with global tragedy.
Let us hope that 2005 will be a better year, and that those of us who have lost loved ones over the past few days or past few months will find the strength to deal with!
Another beginning and ending in the midst of so many beginnings and endings.
Lots of blessings to you and the best of health and happiness!
Kind regards
Franz

Fantastic image icerock, and yes the year ended with a stark reminder of the forces of nature, which on such a large scale everyone is aware of, but individual countries have all had their share of tragedy brought about by the elements.

wise words! Nature can destroy every military forces, and there's no safe place in this world. People should start to think about others every day, not only when something awful happens.

Warm wishes of a happy new year to you.
