Thanks so much! I'm always thrilled to find a cool spiral stairway, to break out the ultra-wide lens! #10326213Terry A. Stoa September 17, 2012
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! #10326465Chris Budny 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. #10326491Ellen Hodges September 17, 2012
