Reflections of Oxford
Buildings nestled on the banks of a canal in Oxford, England.
Windswept in Reykjavik
One of the many buildings in Reykjavik, Iceland that are battered by the harsh weather there. You wouldn’t know it by looking at the sky here but it was quite cold when I took the photo. I think it was at the end of a short photowalk around the city centre when our fingers were…
Telecom Club
The Telecom Club on McCurtain Street, Cork. Telecom Éireann was the state telecoms monopoly until other companies came into the country some years ago but in it’s current state, Éircom, they still own most (all?) the copper phone lines that go into homes here. I’m not sure of the history of the Telecom Club in…
Birds of a Feather
Birds go in and out of their nest in a house in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Houses of Parliament
The Houses of Parliament in London, UK dominate the skyline near the river.
The London Eye
While on my way to Iceland a few months ago I had about 10 hours to kill while in London. Thankfully John Godley collected me at the airport and gave me a quick tour of the city centre! I got loads of photos of the London Eye, here’s one of them.
Four Points Cadiz
Cadiz is a city and port in the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. The centre of the city is filled with old alleys and narrow streets. Here’s I shot straight upwards at the junction of 4 such alleys, I think it was here near the local cathedral. Many years ago I took a similar photo of…
Yellow and Pink
A small corner house in Reykjavik, Iceland. Love the colours. There was a music lesson going full swing when I passed there. I think they were beating drums.
Drekinn
Drekinn, a shop in Reykjavik, Iceland. Drekinn means dragon in English.
Sólfar, The Sun Voyager
This is a metal statue in Reykjavík of what looks like a Viking longboat but according to the Wikipedia page is in fact a “dreamboat”. It is a common misunderstanding that Sun Voyager is a Viking ship. It is quite understandable that many tourists think like this when travelling in Iceland, the land of the…
Derelict Reykjavik Highrises
What 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…
