I haven’t yet sorted through all the photos I took on that Golden Circle tour, so today I’ll offer a few photos I took in Reykjavik.   These photos were taken just steps from the fancy new award-winning convention center (not pictured), which is on the water. Chris’ conference was in the convention center, so I walked over there with him each morning, and I took these on a morning that was clear — albeit not very sunny. From the conference center Chris could see the mountains and the water, but not the “lobster boat” (you’ll see what I mean by that in the photos below).

I should note, however, that I have greatly enhanced the contrast of  light and dark in these photos in my digital darkroom on the computer. As a result — with no other alterations made in these photos, i.e.  no colorizing, no adding/subtracting of anything — the scenes seem a lot more interesting in these photos than I found them in person. I think the gray skies really contributed to a rather flat light when I was there in person last week; I like my scenic views a little more “brilliant” (i.e. with more light/dark contrast) than reality provided last week.

In any case, enjoy these views of Iceland — as they are seen in my “digital darkroom.”

BTW, be sure to click on them to get the larger versions. I think you’ll need that to spot the cat that snuck into my photo of the mountains and water. 🙂
