Saurbæjarkirkja – June 2019

Not to be confused with “Saurbæjarkirkja í Eyjafirði” which is a different church over 500 km away. This one is in the Westfjords, near Rauðisandur, where horrific murders were committed in the early 19th Century on what is now a deserted farm (Sjöundá).

Mural on Radegastovna Perón Smíchov by Chemis (August 2019)

I was staying in Anděl in Prague in 2019 when I took today’s photo. I don’t remember if I ate and had a beer at the pub Radegastovna Perón Smíchov or if I was sipping a beer at the Pizza/Kebab shop with this view.

Anyway, lots of Prague memories these days as I finish Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets.

Ingjaldshóll Church

Ingjaldshólskirkja above the Nootka lupine (June 2019)

Built in 1903, this may be the oldest concrete church in the world. In June, it has the prettiest road to a church in the world IMO.

St George’s Hall in the Winter Palace

Winter Palace interior (Saint Petersburg, Russia – July 2019)

We seem to watch films by recently deceased actors these days. Diane Keaton died almost a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve watched three films she is in since. Reds (1981) was the most recent one. I was surprised to see scenes apparently shot in the Winter Palace (which is now the Hermitage Museum) in the film. Alas, they were not actually filmed there. Instead the Lancaster House in London was used for the interiors, and those scenes looked very legit in Reds.
