Derelict Reykjavik Highrises
Filed in Architecture, Iceland, Photography, Photos, Reykjavik, Sky, Urban, VehiclesWhat I’ve seen of Reykjavik so far has been really nice. Buildings are colourful, the streets are for the most part well maintained and the city centre has cobbled streets so it’s pleasant to walk around. While on our photowalk today we passed these buildings on the sea front. I thought they were just another [...]
The Blue Lagoon, Iceland. The water is lovely warm, even quite hot in places and is full of silica and sulphur. There’s usually a smell of bad eggs in the air from the sulphur but when we visited it was definitely bacon we smelled. Really weird. A great experience except when hailstone started to fall. [...]

An entertaining statue
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Galway, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Street, Uncategorized, UrbanA street performer in Galway City last September. Put money in his box and he’d shake a bit and make some noise. Only kids stopped to watch him. Adults hurried by.

The Penguin and the Man
Filed in Black and White, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanGraffiti on the Crawford Art Gallery about a year ago. There’s something weird going on with my feed here. I messed up the Feedburner redirect for a few days but fixed it and now posts from Holy Shmoly are appearing here too! I’ve disabled the redirect entirely now. Maybe that’ll fix it and my next [...]

This was taken at Seaside in Florida during the Automattic meetup there in 2010. Beautiful beach there, horrible humidity in September! This will probably be my last post of the year here so happy new year and [...]
