Scotland: Òran Mór Whisky Bar

Òran Mór Whisky Bar

Glasgow, Scotland

June 19, 2012

During a mid afternoon drinking session, always remember to stop and stretch. No one wants to throw out their back while sipping a wee dram of Talisker, right?

To quote the Òran Mór website: "Formerly Kelvinside Parish Church, Òran Mór, Gaelic for 'great melody of life' or 'big song', is a thriving arts & entertainment venue in the heart of Glasgow's West End." 

This was a really nice place to sit in a booth (err...pew?) and sample some fine cask ales and my first proper whisky!  

Stay tuned for shots of the deep fried sausage dinner that followed shortly thereafter....

While waiting to catch a train home, I started snapping candid shots in Glasgow's central train station....then I got busted by this nearby commuter. 

Scotland: Blokes

Edinburgh, Scotland

June 18, 2012

I should probably count myself lucky that I didn't get 'messed about' for taking this shot of these two blokes strolling down a lane, soaking up the sun.  It was one of the only days I regretted not wearing shorts, so much for that rainy Scottish weather!

Iceland: Hipsters

Kolaportið Flea Market

Hipsters, hipsters everywhere....

The global scourge of hipsters has not left Iceland untouched. Check out this greasy hair, indoor sunglasses wearing dude thumbing through a bin of vinyl. 

 No, Icelandic hipster, don't buy the Toto album!!!!

Clearly, these guys were not worried about the harmful effects of the sun's rays as they strutted around the exhibition grounds on this fine, sunny day in July.  

Does anyone know why a Newfoundland flag was flying from the building in the background?  I sure don't.

A common sight these days, geese on the move.  Somehow I got them to line up nicely with....lines.  words.
