Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland (August 2021)

I took this photo simply because the building looked nice. I didn’t realize until I processed the photo that this is the Royal Castle. The Nazis destroyed the building in WWII. This version was reconstructed in the 1970s and early 80s in its original 17th Century style.

Dunkeld Cathedral and a Monkey Puzzle Tree (Scotland, July 2021)

I should have done more research before my tour in the Scottish Highlands. Had I done so, I would have made a mad dash for this place when we had a half-hour break on our way to Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye. Instead, I got some food and ate it in a park near the bus. Cool town, but I feel like I didn’t even scratch the surface of its history–including the 1689 Battle of Dunkeld that was fought around the cathedral between the Jacobite Highland clans and the British government. Maybe the tour guide described all of this, but on day one of the tour, I could only understand a fraction of what he said.

Smyril Line ferry to the Faroe Islands from Denmark (July 2021)

Today’s photo was taken on my trip from Hirtshals, Denmark to Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. I have no desire to be on a boat for over 30 hours straight again, but it was an interesting adventure in hindsight.

Before this show (which was just outside of the stadium), I toured Stadion Poznań. I didn’t tell them that I couldn’t understand Polish, but there was a Dane also on the tour who asked for the tour to also be in English so I got a lot more out of it than had it only been in Polish. The Dane asked me to take professional photos for him so I did. I gave him my card, and he never contacted me so I’m just getting around to processing this 7-photo photomerge now.
