After shooting in Reykjavik all day upon arrival, it was a neat treat to find this great stairway waiting in the hotel we'd booked for that first night.

  Another beautiful result of your architectural eye, Chris. A whirlpool pulling us right down into it.

  Outstanding ED image. Should go far. Looks like it is disappearing into the center of the earth. Great job.

  Very nice capture, Chris. I've been to Iceland once and, as I recall, 7-story structures of any kind were pretty tough to come by!

  Thanks, Terry. Right you are; this hotel was 8 or 9 floors, I can't recall. Tall buildings there are rare; the tallest I believe is "only" 20 floors.

Yes, Nikki, when I discovered it was in the hotel, I told my friend Megan she'd have to give me another 30 minutes before we had dinner ;)
