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! #10326465

Chris Budny level-deluxe September 17, 2012

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. #10326491
