Fun Photo Friday — Belfast Favorites


Angry Bird

Several years ago I published a series of blog articles on filtering black & white photographs to get the most out of them. I came across a photo in this series that demonstrates color filtering in stark terms. I’ll start with the color original:

The original photo

Then convert it using red filtering, which lightens the reds and darkens the blues:

Red filtered conversion to black & white

And, lastly, a conversion using green filtering. Notice the opposite effect:

If you’re interested in those articles, I’ve supplied links at the end of today’s Fun Photo Friday. But, for now, let’s take a look at this week’s favorites below. And remember, I’ll be continuing this cruise series in three weeks. However next week will be Memorial Day tributes and the week after will commemorate the D-Day landings, 6 June 1944.

Fun Photo/Food Friday — Reykjavik Area Favorites and Eating at Hótel Skógafoss


Today I’m going to combine a Fun Photo Friday with a Fun Food Friday featuring a lunch review of the restaurant at Hótel Skógafoss in Skógar, just minutes away from on foot from the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall. We’ll start with a glance at the lunch menu at the Hótel Skógafoss Bistro and Bar:

But that menu does not show you the full selection available. There were also sandwiches, French fries, and other popular fair:

Mmmm…. Looks good. Let’s take a closer look:

Something a bit more local, perhaps?

Or a cross between the traditional and the popular:

Yes, this is a bar as well. Don’t forget to see what they have on tap to accompany your lunch:

Oh, my bad. Wrong Borg. Here you go:
