Windswept in Reykjavik

On March 16, 2013 by Donncha With 0 Comments - Architecture, Black and White, Canon 40D, Iceland, Photography, Photos, Reykjavik, Sigma 18-200, Urban

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 numb with cold.

Telecom Club

On January 7, 2013 by Donncha With 0 Comments - Architecture, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Urban

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 Cork, but I have been in there. A few years ago I took Spanish classes there for about 3 months until my interest waned. Don’t take that for a sign of how you’ll do with your new year’s resolutions. 🙂

The London Eye

On May 18, 2012 by Donncha With 3 Comments - Architecture, Canon 40D, London, Look up, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, United Kingdom, Urban

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

On May 2, 2012 by Donncha With 1 Comments - Abstract, Architecture, Cadiz, Canon 40D, Look up, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Sky, Spain, Urban

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 buildings in San Francisco.
