I wasn’t sure what to upload today. I have a bunch of film shots but they’re going to be part of a longer post that I haven’t written yet, and I don’t have a lot of other stuff uploaded and ready to go (although I have a huge backlog of stuff to develop and scan – the best part of 200 photographs!).

So I’ll upload a digital picture today, another from my recent holiday in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is very popular with Game of Thrones fans as it was a key filming location, mostly as the site for the fictional city of King’s Landing. Dotted through the old town are many shops selling GoT merchandise, and there are guided tours of the filming locations.

The place in today,s photograph was used at least once in the series (in a scene with Sansa Stark and Lord “Littlefinger” Baelish), and can be seen here on this webpage of the filming locations. The jetty that featured in the show is just to the left of frame in my shot – I avoided its inclusion predominantly because there were at least two tour groups crowded onto the narrow strip. I’m surprised someone didn’t fall into the water!
