	7-Story Curves 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. 1/13 Finalist - "Indoors" Theme. PG101 Curvature Theme Winner © Christopher J. Budny chrisbudny.com Canon EOS 7D Digit...
	Búðir There has been a small parish church here since 1703; this building is the fourth. It sits quite near the beach on the southern coast of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, 75 miles north of Reykjavik, as the puffin flies, but a 3 hour drive otherwise. 1/13 Finalist - T&P © Christopher J. Budny chrisbudny.com Canon EOS 7D Digit...
