We went to Iceland for a few days, where we spent most of the time on various excursions. In other words, very little time for photography. But I think that being on these excursions have a big advantage: you get to “know” quite a few places in a very short time. So the next time you travel to Iceland, you can rent a camper, travel around and spending a lot more time at the various places … and of course travel to places you never had the chance to see.

This “canyon” was much more impressive in real life, I didn’t manage to catch how it really looked/felt like.

I would liked to have tried various angles, but I also wanted to stay alive so this is what you get.

This is the church you can see when you test your eyes. I wanted to take a photo where you can see the road leading up to the church … but there were always Chinese tourists standing there, taking selfies of themselves, so I never got the chance.

I’m pretty sure there are 1000s of photos of this mountain, Kirkjufell, from this specific angle. But just to prove that I’ve been there also. Below another angle of the waterfall

We also went to Vestmannaeyjar to see the puffins (sorry, no photos since I didn’t have a camera with a telephoto lens) and just look around. A beautiful place.

Apart from the puffins, we also went to the museum of the Eldfell eruption … a little bit like a modern Pompejii … plus that we climbed the volcano itself

I should have written this for a long time ago, but life happened. Well, I travelled to the UK in Juli 2025. And as an experiment, I decided to take the train. Based on many, many previous experiences I expected all kinds of problems, but everything went very smoothly. Here are some snapshots of the various train stations I stopped at (hopefully, more posts later about London, and York/Yorkshire)

Yesterday, I started to read Sean Tucker’s Parable 6 which talks about different personas we take on. I came to the sentence.

Every London photographer knows Soho George, for example, and we all have shots of him somewhere in our back catalogue.

– Ha, I’m not a real London photographer, but I was in London last week, and I have no photos of this guy. I don’t even know who he is.

But he seemed to be an interesting character, so I did a search, and found quite a few pages about him. For example, this article. And when I took a closer look … I recognised him at once, it’s the man I noticed when I was walking around in SoHo, and since I liked his style I took a picture.

So, I need to change my mind, Sean was right, if you have been in London and taken some photos in the SoHo area, you probably have a photo of SoHo George.
