I manage to put 2 of whatever "( those things )" are in one headline that is both promotive and degregating at the same time"! Whoopdie da! =)

Hof; "culture" house.

A rather "messy" photo, of a "messy" police drug search on the main road by Hof "Cultutre" house,

An image apparently shot at 2.03 in the night showing the old main entrance to the Landsbankinn ,"Bank" (the same operations as got Britain to apply terrorist laws on the Icelandic government since they "harboured" financial "terrorists". Not since the Viking ages have we had such a bad (or good reputation in the U.K))

As you can see by the purple light, they don't mess about either!

And here is the view to the inside of formerly shown Hof "culture" house!

To compare, here is an image of a graffiti depicting what appears to be "cock and balls" (penis with testicles and a scrotum) That I came across during one of my "outings" and i didn't even bother "cropping".

To be perfectly honest, I do not see a difference of, or level of culture. One is heavily taxing and expensive though, however I'm for both! :)

I decided to de-rail a bit from my original "nighttime" decided upon theme, and throw in a few local graffiti :)

The top three show the amazing stairway that you can use to shorten your trip when moving from place A to B in the downtown centrum area, i decided that all three deserve a stay, since they show the "layout" which I find interesting.

As well as the one with all the windows is so "Soviet-y"

And then there’s this one! I really do love these characters, "Intense Hamster" hehe.

Well i will not be de-railed, I will add content rather than split this in to two posts. So here come a few more Night-time Autumn Photographs.

The Akureyri horticultural gardens had hung these beautiful decorations up during the "Halloween"

They, too, have the "purple lights" theme going, I think it might be a feminist domination symbol, we're in Scandinavia after all! hehe.

The above image is also shot during the pitch black night, however I have "brightened" it a bit. *And i notice now that i might do with some "cropping"

Wow, though! Wtf is that to the left and edge of this image, by middle, (left & then middle), I do not remember a creepy child being there!

These beautiful benches also in the Horticultural gardens seem of such little interest right now. What a creepy thing on the image above, however, it might be the reflections of a wet rubbish can.

The old and very prestigious local high school, one of two in Iceland that teaches Latin and has been a so-called "Latin school" since like the Middle Ages, In Iceland that's like 18xx i guess...

No, I looked it up, and god-damn they ain't kidding around!

The Menntaskólinn á Akureyri traces its roots to the ancient school in Hólar in Hjaltadalur valley, founded in the beginning of Jón Ögmundsson's episcopacy in 1130. -Wikipedia

The above image is shot from the Akureyri botanical gardens towards the old main school building.

This one is more of a "standard" image, "Iconic" if you will,

IMG_20211031_182713.jpg

The school is so prestigious and so hard to get in to, that me having been a student, even though I was fired for excessive party-ing and smoking of hashish on school grounds. And refusing to hand over said Hashish.

For most people only means, "oh, so, you are really, really smart?"

What part about fired and refusing to hand over some worthless fkn "hashish" didn't you get? heh...

Anyways!

Glad to be back to Steemit! Going to try and keep up with blogging and being active in community stuff, it's a great gathering of talent that has come since my last visit.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season towards you (where that applies). For starters, at least a great weekend!

Thank you to those who read, comments ad feedback always welcomed!

100% POWER UP!

Sort:  

Fun collection of pictures; it is nice to get a feeling of different places, specially these days, when it is hard to travel.
I think it is lucky you didn't notice the spooky child (or wet rubbish bin) during your tour. If I had, I would have had a heart attack!
