As far inland as I went, just out from Landmannalaugar. A day of rest which ended up being a further 18k hiked or so. This was a shot set to self-timer just of me sitting on this bit of lava flow, dramatic skies and imposing views as a decent backdrop. I took the photo without me originally, but felt something more was needed as the foreground isn't a blinder, so thought I'd stick myself in, though generally people within landscape isn't something I like doing! Anyways, thought I'd get at least one photo from Iceland with me in it somewhere...

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
It's hard to believe this is a real place! I like having you in the scene - contemplating all of that beauty around you.

Iceland is awesome, the nature is just incredible.
I think you made the right desision in putting yourself into the frame, it just gives nature a human tough ! well done and thanks for the posting.

This is an awesome image. I can just see myself sitting there. You're a lucky guy, and a great photographer. In my favourites.

im sorry if i dont reply to your kind words as quickly as hoped, im in the middle of a degree, but ill get there, honest.
Stunning! I've seen this on the featured images for a couple days now, but never had the chance to click on to see it bigger. Wow, I'm really glad I did! The coloring and contrast on the hills in the background is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this!

"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
you were right to add self for the reason you give....excellent for its mood and the eerie sky.........
