All right, back on topic here, folks!! What airports, if any, DO have anything
worth photographing?

The people of Auckland are known as 'jafas' by the rest of New Zealand
jafas = Just Another F**ken Aucklander
(A Jaffa is a very popular local sweet; solid chocolate centre, orange
coating, 'bout the size of a marble)

Just ~5km from where I sit is Newcastle Airport (NCL) which has a rather
charming nuclear storage facility. If you like that sort of thing.
And I was rather impressed with the array of military hardware at
Krakow.

SFO.
Seriously; there are often exhibits of early airline/airport arcana as
well as museum type displays of, well, last time it was Buddha figures
from many nations and some were of antiquity. Not for everyone, but
there's a semi permanent exhibit on the Mezzanine, near the library.
Yes, I meant: Library.

Denver and Las Vegas airports are pretty interesting. Philadelphia's
airport (which I live near) is okay to be delayed in, but nothing great
to photograph.

Yes, Iceland is a beautiful country and there are many nice scenes. As a
general comment to your pictures, I think it would help a lot if you worked
more on your composition and post processing.

Very nice photos. If money were no issue, Iceland and especially
Greenland would be on my short list of places to visit, along with
Antarctica, Patagonia and Nepal.
