When I visit Iceland in October I look forward to seeing the Peace Tower, although not everyone likes it.
It is on the island of Viðey off the coast near Reykjavik in Faxafloi.
The IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is an outdoor artwork by Yoko Ono, built on Viðey in 2007 and dedicated to John Lennon.The tower is lit annually on Lennon’s birthday, October 9th, and shines until December 8th, the day of his passing. The artwork is a symbol of Ono and Lennon’s contuining work for world peace.
The tower is in the form of a wishing well, with the words “IMAGINE PEACE” inscribed on it in 24 languages.
Here's my picture from October 2022 with the tower and the northern lights, while staying at the Cabin (unfortunately).
